So, was he rejected by an automated system or did he go thru seven interviews, as other commenters say?

  You might have missed the subtle wording; _That_ guy (Howell) got several rounds of interviews, _this_ guy (OP) got rejected by an automated system.

    Not the "subtle" but simply, inaccurate wording then
    • alias_neo 1y ago
      Not inaccurate; it's perfectly understandable to a native English speaker, the nuance is subtle, "this guy", "him/that guy", but it is clear and commonly used language. "I just spoke to a guy about X, his opinion was different to the guy I spoke to about it last week. This guy said Y, but that guy insisted it was Z."

  GP is talking about two different people. "Him" is the creator of Homebrew. Seven interviews at Google. "This guy" is the creator of enigo (discussed in this thread). Automatic rejection by Anthropic. (Edit: upon page reload i saw the quicker answer.)

    Does 7 interviews not seem excessive? Got my current job with 1. Silicon Valley lives in lalaland.

      7 is a bit excessive but it might be including team matching which is a bit more informal and less obnoxious than the leetcode style interviews
