Interviews & job applications are not a fair evaluation of your skills, they're a giant and terrible filter.

Don't let it stop you from continuing to apply for jobs. If you have written a Django/Angular site from scratch you are more than qualified for a junior position.

Thanks. I'm gonna keep working on some of my other projects, and get back to applying to what I find open involving those technologies and others I know. It was just a frustrating thing hearing that and, since I have a steady job (even if I don't particularly enjoy it), it was hard to make myself apply for programming ones after hearing it. Just need to move on and keep doing it.
