In fact, if I recall, we asked you to reverse a string. This is not an "algorithm" question, it's a basic programming aptitute test and if you can't do it on a piece of paper, this is a major red flag for us. Furthermore, you demonstrated a lack of understanding of basic JavaScript concepts like prototypes and scoping. This, and your personal attitude, were the reason why we did not hire you for the front end deveoper position.
You are no doubt a hardworking and resourceful individual, but we were looking for something more than ability to glue JavaScript libraries together. I wish you, and "other smart teams that hire [you]", all the best.
Our goal, however, is different. We aim to bring VPN/privacy protection to people who have never heard of VPN (notice that we don't have "VPN" anywhere on our site, except for in a quote from TNW and in the help section). Despite there being 100's (if not 1000's) of VPN services out there, very few of them, sadly, care about the non-tech-savvy audience.
