manager at netflix told me that i used an older java version in my take home which indicated that i am not someone who keeps up with latest tech.

Some dude at airbnb asked me if had gone to IIT ( indian institute of tech) and ended the interview early when i told him i didn't. This was after they flew me into sfo.

This is not an example of bombing an interview, if they wanted a recent java version they should have stated that.

Unless you chose a java version old enough to have a driving license, in which case I could understand that response.

it was java 7 when the latest release was java 8.

That's dodging a bullet rather than bombing an interview.
