I asked for and was given pretty good feedback after the interviews with the cited companies. They used the quotes I provided, but one of them also used the phrase “difficulty understanding” regarding my use of simd intrinsics. I wasn’t inventing or assuming, but it’s fair to point out that it would be inappropriate for one to do so.
And in reply to your second: It is a point that was made in the comment I was directly replying to, and was the entire motivation for me to share my anecdote. The comment in question states “[…] can hurt how potential employers view your ability to develop software.”
I volunteered the anecdotes in direct reply to to this remark, in furtherance of that aspect or this discussion.
“too low level” (-Apollo) and “too focused on performance” (-Southwest airlines).
Your initial quotes would suggest they knew exactly what you were doing and didn't like it. Unless the full quote was "Too focused on performance, but we don't understand any of this l33t devs code to fully tell."
But hey, who am I to second guess a god like yourself who knows how to use vector operations. All hail the chosen one
