Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This interviewer had a bizarre interview with a candidate named Adam. Adam was critical of the interview process, claiming it was too long and unnecessary, and that he could assess a developer's skills simply by looking at their GitHub profile. Despite the interviewer's attempts to explain his process and adjust it to Adam's preferences, Adam abruptly ended the interview, claiming it wouldn't be a good fit. After the call, Adam sent an aggressive email criticizing the interviewer's interview style and even his open source work.
