Oh, that brings back memories. When I interviewed with Triplebyte in 2018 and was rejected, my first item in the 'positive feedback' part of the email was "We saw some real strength on the tic tac toe section.", and my first item in the immediately following "the areas we think you can improve" paragraph was "We didn't see the coding proficiency we were looking for in the tic tac toe section--you didn't make very much progress." |

...it might have been me, I was writing those emails in the year 2018. That was my first job there.
Jokes aside, we generated those emails largely from a template. If I remember right, "saw some real strength" was "got at least an OK score for code quality", while the negative feedback below was about number of steps. The number of mishaps with that system is part of why we do the feedback a bit differently [1] at Otherbranch, at least for now. I think we did revamp it very late in that team's lifetime, just before Triplebyte pivoted and laid off most of the team that did those (two of us, me + one of my colleagues, moved over to a different team, which is why I'm in a position to tell the whole story).

(As an aside I wish Framer'd let me link images directly on the proper domain.)
