> Candidate disclosed that runtime complexity was 'irrelevant as he had 3YOE in a random web shop' and that we should 'use real technology like NuxtJs'

In my defense, I was more respectful than that. Also, the "we should use real technology" was my response at Time Magazine, not at Google. I stand by it. Server-side javascript (isomorphic javascript) is stupid. At least try to use typescript or something. The interviewer clearly agreed with me. Problem is it was above their pay grade as well.
