For what it's worth, I think Chris Marshall looks like a great developer and a professional I aspire to emulate. However, a lot of companies do make decisions based on metrics, keyword searches, and standardized tests like leetcode (aka stuff that misses out on the human element), so it makes sense to try and balance both if one hasn't done so already.

There's no hope for me either; I'm not a "good cultural fit" most of the time.

I agree with your last sentence, although I would word it a little differently. :)
