I'm a bit sour reading this. I've always liked fly and particularly the engineering blog, so much so that a couple of months ago I decided to apply for an infra position, to work on some of these very topics. Sadly after 4~5 rounds of interviews (including a workday) they just ghosted me.
> Don't feel too bad nor take it personal. They probably have a lot of applicants, and are looking to grow their team by hiring someone with very specific skills.
> I also applied a few months ago while I was in the middle of my job search. For one, I couldn’t really answer their "favorite syscall question" because I’ve never dealt with syscalls :) so maybe I just wasn't a good fit.
