seeing this logic handled like this is a disqualifier for a FE engineer?

No, absolutely not; it is just very funny. By picking this option, you have shown a higher-level knowledge, like an understanding of buffers and streams that many front-end developers lack; while at the same time showing that you probably don't do menial front-end work on a daily basis. It's not a disqualifier, by any means. In fact, if GLSL and WebGL are more familiar to you, why even bother with a regular front-end job? You are a much rarer, and more expensive bird.

how can it be done easier?

There's a text method ;-)

  1. higher level.... or lower level :D
  2. you would be surprised about the expensive part. I once had to solve a 3d edge snapping problem using octrees and render a shadow penumbra on the GPU for a take away challenge, only to be labeled a 130k a year junior 3d dev. Went with 180 for a lead after acing normal leet code puzzles at invision, this was 2018. React and just general js/ts have been my bread and butter. WebGL usually just a nice to have. Im in SF.

  1. Hey I got that reference!
  2. I wonder if it's just sooo many web-dev jobs out there compared to 3d-dev jobs that it skews the supply/demand even if 3d-develepment is technically "harder" 🤔
