I think you might be missing the point of the blog post. The author is frustrated that he followed standard engineering practices (by submitting a proposal for approval). This proposal was perceived to be as accepted and then when they delivered.
The issue isn't his solution is incorrect. The issue is the company's said his solution was correct and then they rejected him anyways.
This is the equivalent of the interviewer telling you the brute force solution on a leetcode is good enough, but then rejecting you after the interview.
- theamk 1y agono, the company did not say that his solution was correct, that's just what the author thought. The company said that _the parts he wrote in the doc_ would not negatively affect his scoring. But his doc did not contain many parts that the company cared about - read it yourself, and try to answer the questions like: Will there be a per-email indicator? Is there a "sent mail" folder? How will user be notified of incoming email? More on this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43996105 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43996105
