It's unclear what sort of prep work the author put into each interview, but interviewing is nothing more than a sales pitch and a "game" to be played.
I'm 100% self taught, having never set foot in a CS classroom, and this is what I do for every interview process:
1. Find everything you can about company and their interview style;
2. skim over Algorithms in a Nutshell;
3. Take an hour to refresh Big O notation;
4. Read up on "best practices" for the technologies the company uses.
Finally, after the interview always follow up -- say something nice and memorable, be humble and express interest in learning their technology stack _before_ your first day on the job.
I find it takes 2-3 company's before I hit my "interviewing stride".
