Resume VS p2p-file-transfer

I found this extremely bizarre, as I don't really think my resume could in any way be interpreted as a PM's resume, and assuming I wasn't lying I feel that it's pretty obvious I am a "hands on coder".

I think what happened is that the hiring manager already knew who they wanted for the job, but for legal and/or bureaucratic reasons they had to have a pretense of "trying to find the best candidate". I suspect that they never even looked at my resume, had some basic boilerplate rejection text that had some vague plausibility, and was just going to reject every candidate sent to them.

That's fine, but I really wish they had done this before I had to spend multiple hours trying to get a read on my personality. I think a lot of hiring managers are sociopaths.

A while back I hacked around and built a peer to peer file transfer program to learn Rust, including the file transfer protocol too (you can check it out on https://github.com/gotlougit/p2p-file-transfer or on https://git.sr.ht/~gotlou/p2p-file-transfer). I did this mostly being inspired by Tailscale and also out of frustration of how getting uncompressed photos from friends was a mess.

I love learning new things and am a fast learner. Recently I migrated to NixOS, and quickly ended up configuring a tmpfs rootfs so I could manage the state of my system better.
