Where I'm at, the next time I do a job search, I want to charge for my time. I've got enough public work on Github (or, expect to soon, as this art project progresses!) that you can review that. If you want something just for you, pay me. That way I know you value it, as well, because otherwise it's nearly free for you.
A few interesting things happened this interview cycle:
1) I actually did get feedback, at least from the companies I had an in-person with. I think I managed that by enthusiasm and friendliness during the interviews. But, a bunch more didn't give me any feedback and barely told me that they weren't progressing, which sucks. AngelList itself was actually one of them. Penultimate communication was "we really liked your takehome", next communication was nothing, but when prompted they said "actually no" and nothing more. :/
2) I was asked to write a lockable node tree as part of a remote screen-share tech screen. I wasn't too excited about the job, so I felt like taking a risk and pulled out a line I'd wanted to pull out for awhile: "If this is the kind of work I'd be doing, I don't want this job. How about we switch to something more like what I'd actually be doing?". Still wrote the code, and did get a call-back, but by then I'd found something.
3) During an in-person tech screen, they asked me to implement something I'd already done as part of a different tech-screen, so I just pulled that up and we went from there. It was fantastic. That one ended interestingly; I get "we really like you and would want to hire you for a position we don't currently have but we don't have that position yet" rather more frequently than seems reasonable.
