Clearly didn't perform as well as you thought if they passed on you

  Not quite. In this market, you can crush it and still not get the job. One thing I can say for sure, I performed way better than was required for the position. Anyway, ended up somewhere way better, so worked out in the end.

    Sounds like you didn't meet their bar. I'm happy you're somewhere you like, and interviews are somewhat arbitrary so you're not gonna pass them all. It still doesn't reflect well on you to take that stance though.

      LOL. WHAT BAR? the bar where a corporate suit in polos can judge your life story and compare it to his where he did not just travel to all those exotic destinations for fun but to understand the culture of the people living in bali, mexico, europe? this is an ecommerce platform. hell you can do it in php on a 1999 laptop. nothing fancy here man they not sending space shuttles to mars

        The engineers are the ones setting the bar, the life story is to avoid assholes. Clearly he got past that, so congrats on not being an asshole, but the engineers weren't impressed enough. There's a reason Shopify on your resume opens a lot of doors. They don't compromise on engineering.
