I had a similar experience. I was asked to do some coding, got hung up on one of the questions.

Right on the spot I was told I wasn't a perfect match. Not directly saying it but definitely implying it, they said they needed someone who can actually code.

I guess having deployed multiple projects and code to show for it isn't worth anything if you can't code a variation of fizz buzz.

The hiring practice is a little off. If anyone ever asks me for advice on job hunting, I'll definitely tell them to exhaust all networking outlets e.g. programing meets, hackathons, friends of friends, before applying directly.
