Thank you for those advices, about 2 weeks ago I made a mistake that you mentioned, I didn't explain well one question that my interviwer made me, and I knew that screwed up the interview.

The mistake was that my interviewer asked me "Why will you use node.js and not Java?" and I said "Honestly, I don't like Java, I hate it!" but I didn't explain with details why, after that the guy told me "everything here is written in Java", so I felt embarrassed and I also knew that I buried any opportunity, now I think that I could have used anothers words to explain why I don't like Java.

this article is fantastic!!

You really should have known their framework before taking the interview though. You sort of dodged a bullet too. Would you really want a job using a framework you dislike?

(I don't like Java either. ;) )
