Their intonation was tough to get past I will say that.

This implies that handling it well is aligned with keeping ones job. I don't agree with that mindset myself. I'd say they handled it poorly. But, then, both of us are at least half wrong regardless of which one is right.

Oi, same. Cliché or not, Obi-wan said it best:

I've since created a playlist dedicated to those lost songs, long forgotten fossils, as I randomly re-find or re-remember them. Sadly, there's fewer than 20 songs in there even after all this time.

> I’ve been considering building a “Hackintosh” system. But with Apple’s plans of going to ARM possibly by the end of this year, I don’t want to invest a lot in hardware that’s going to be obsolete soon.

This argument doesn't make much sense to me. While not all hardware works with the goal of building a hackintosh. Plenty of top of the line hardware does and will run Windows just fine if ARM becomes an issue.

Given how prevalent the tracking of users is, anonymous or otherwise, I'd be extremely pessimistic about this assumption.

Ironically, you passed on the smartest applicant of the bunch.

The problem here is that the average end user would not know which one to use and when to use it.

On one hand I appreciate how elaborately the parent comment made their point. On another, I appreciate how succinctly you made your point. A conundrum within a conundrum, indeed.

If I remember correctly, React was only part of it. Lack of support for relational databases was a big issue as well. On top of that, people realized that they didn't need real time functionality and the overhead (and scaling) of mini-mongo et al was a difficult venture. Take with a grain of salt. This was all very long ago so my memory may not be accurate.
