Damn that's rough, less than 24 hours is a fast turnaround for a rejection.

Anthropic rejections do seem to come back quick from what I've seen.

The culture round is definitely the wildcard, technical bar felt fair to me too when I went through it.

Yeah exactly, still don't really know what they wanted from me on that one.
