Could one do a "terminal inspired, mutt-like email client" that completely satisfies OP's proposal (web-based, TEMPL, pocketbase, pulumi, etc...)? Sure, it would be possible. None of those are _required_ for the submission but you can totally use them if you wanted to. So the interviewer probably thought, "hey this person is going all out", and was absolutely honest in saying "Looking forward to receiving your submission"
I cannot really blame the interviewer for not reminding the candidate that they should actually follow the requirements, in addition to all the optional stuff they mentioned in their spec.
- josecodea 1y ago> Sure, it would be possible I have to be blunt, you have no idea what you are talking about. I am just going to say this: A terminal app is completely at odds with an online web client. If the interviewer is as clueless as you are, that explains two things: - I was never going to pass the interview in the first place - I was never going to get a reasonable conversation from this person, no amount of communication is going to solve incompetence from the interviewer's side Corollary: - Gross negligence from the company for assigning this interviewer
