I just can’t get past the fact that he didn’t even deliver on the core deliverable of “ The project is to build a minimal, terminal-inspired email client”. Nothing about the demo I watched on YouTube looked “terminal-inspired”

It's advertised as a backend position, so OP built a backend.

And they failed for it, because they didn't follow the instructions. Nit picking about the requirements and being all "well, _technically_" is both a common personality trait among programmers and _THE WRONG WAY TO THINK_ when interacting with humans.

a wrong kind of backend though.. The position is "Email Backend Engineer" and the backend OP built was "web backend"

(OP outsourced the actual "email backend", that is the thing that stores and sends/receives emails, to a third-party products. Probably not the wisest solution if you are trying to get hired to work on email backends :) )

"Email client can either be in the terminal (i.e. a TUI) or a web app"
