    Not OP but I think they just meant it’s pretty overloaded - it’s one of the most well-known instances. “Too many” users can cause problems for the people hosting the instance, so I think there’s been a movement to spread it around so all the eggs aren’t in the same basket.




  • Sounds to me like the failure wasn’t yours, but the interviewer’s; you came prepared for questions relevant to the role, and they went all out-of-pocket on you.

    Like if you show up for a tech job and they start going “paint me a word picture… tell me about your personal philosophy…”

    Like you said, if they just googled some BS to ask you, or followed the corp-approved “starting questions”, that’s their fault.

    Maybe you could reach out to them (or HR?)and go “hey, I was surprised by some of the interview questions, but I really do think I’m a strong match - can we get together and come to an understanding on the relevance of those questions?”
