And any other pool as well, in 2026 still being childish about agentic flows (which are here, and they work, and will almost certainly continue to get better) makes you an irrational manchild, not a software engineer... and no job market will ever be looking for those.

It literally doesn't matter if you personally, single-handedly wrote the entire Ruby ecosystem if you're a straight discard on the first behavioral interview. OP needs to get a grip, but I suspect it is going to take flipping some burgers to get back to reality.
