Not sure. Probably had something to do with me not using whatever tech stack he thinks Amazon uses. Python doesn't scale was his theory. He just felt that I'm wasting my time using languages, frameworks, and stupid projects no one ever heard of. He really hit me with a lot of insults and I don't have the mind to remember how it all went down.
I was also called low quality by some founder, who uh... only employs people that are willing to work for free and is running a failing startup. I don't know, **** them.
I will say that, overall, Austinites are nicest, most open and friendly people I've ever met, which makes these situations even more bizarre. It is little wonder that people who lived here a long time use abrasive adjectives to describe tech people, Californians, and people from Dallas.
