You'd probabbly apply again sometime right?

If my circumstances were the same I probably would, but circumstances have changed enough that I wouldn't apply for that type of position.

That's nice and helpful, especially since tech interviews can be taxing. Sounds like they actually liked you and probably would've hired you under different circumstances.
I had terribly frustrating experiences interviewing. Mostly just taking a bunch of tests and interviewing two, three times, and not hearing back for months. What sticks out was a post-interview for a large company that aggressively recruited from my uni. When I asked how I could have improved the answer was, "You ask too many specific questions about the company and software platform. Be more focused on the interviews." "For example?" "It isn't appropriate to discuss how wages are adjusted according to location or salaried overtime policies or the tech stack... in an interview..." I took that one as the, "not gonna drink the Kool Aid." box being checked. Dodged a bullet there, though, seeing as her answers did not exactly inspire faith.
I didn't get that job, but it gave me a lot of constructive advice and I ended up getting the next one I interviewed for.
