Oh, I totally agree. That wasn't intended as a slight toward the company; rather, the solution to the problem was (if I remember correctly) only a few lines of code, but I think the test was tailored to more junior candidates, who might have needed to talk through it more (and as a result, have provided more insight into their thought process).

At the time, I didn't realize _that_ was likely what they were evaluating, but in my experience interviewing engineers since then helped me realize what I'd overlooked.

I mentioned they passed on me mostly for transparency given the rest of my comment, but I can understand how it might have sounded otherwise. I liked their concept and stayed connected for a while after, not something I normally tend to do if there's bad blood.
