Yep. Failed an interview because I used EJS (SSR) and Node to build a simple Twitter in 30mins. The interviewer saw that it was three files and did not seem impressed.

I guess they wanted me to use lots of little components in an SPA which I did in my day job, but it didn't seem nessisary for the task...



3 files? "Luxury!"

I could implement a Twitter in 1 Python or Go file, hosted on 1 machine

granted its concurrent user capacity and traffic load capacity would be insufficient for actual Twitter. but all the basics would work, in the small


I'm sure there are horrible kubernetes deploys out here that you can deploy with a good ol' curl | sudo


You had a machine?

LUXURY!
