4 years of experience in ruby on rails. Value for years down the line? Where were you for those years of working on a single project/product that will benefit from that?

Tech stack doesn't matter? IT does matter! The tech stack shapes not only the platform, but the way people think about the problem and the possible solutions given the constraints. Beauty in code does exist, but you don't get anything done when the only thing you do is pontificating on things like that. It's an iterative process.

Honestly dude, check yourself. You're a junior. Any experience will be good for you. Nothing wrong with that, but unless you put in the hours in the grind you'll never be good. To realize that you need true humility, not the stuff you've written about "architecture" and whatever. What have you actually done?

If this is what I get in an interview I will terminate it quickly.
