manager at netflix told me that i used an older java version in my take home which indicated that i am not someone who keeps up with latest tech. Some dude at airbnb asked me if had gone to IIT ( indian institute of tech) and ended the interview early when i told him i didn't. This was after they flew me into sfo.
