For future reference, any time you're opening with any variation of "playing devil's advocate" in reply to someone you don't know, it won't be taken well.
For every single one of the roles listed in this article, I exceeded every requirement laid out in the job posting. When you considering these are almost always more of a wish list than actual requirements, the problem isn't being unqualified. I also have a history of contributing to open source and even building my own tools. I also have a blog with some pretty great content in it.
I've had plenty of interviews where I was out of my depth. That was not the case in any example presented in this article.
Whoa man, that's why I said ... or they are blithering idiots. I wasn't questioning your intelligence and qualifications are in no way related to intelligence anyway. I was just saying sometimes when companies don't "like" a candidate for whatever reason they sometimes don't communicate that well and pick some stupid reason to say that might not even be related to the real reason.
