The bigger difference that I see is your statement that "Every few months, I check that all our recommended resources are still up-to-date, available, and free."
In some unfruitful further communication with TripleByte, I asked how I was supposed to improve, given that their feedback seemed to be "we have no qualms with your ability, but we don't think you can pass an interview". They recommended that I sign up on interviewing.io. I did that, and a year later, I was still on the wait list. (I eventually got off the waitlist when complaining about this same sequence of events on HN, and an interviewing.io employee saw the complaint. I don't think that approach scales well.)
Also, this looks like a feedback email after a take home project? I guess the rejection emails after the technical interview should be much more detailed.
All the ways I discussed in the article - more nuanced, more thorough, more detailed, more focused on constructive advice you can take to your next interview. Plus, we've just improved our process in general so you aren't tested on skills you don't need. It's easier to give constructive feedback about an interview process you have a lot of confidence in, and much of the work we've put in as a company over the last few years has been designing an interview we think really works.
