No, but just because he created homebrew doesn't mean he's qualified either. Homebrew is one of the least reliable pieces of software I've ever used. It's popularity puzzles me and I've stopped letting it get near any machine I use. It's baffling and annoying to me that people view it as some default packaging solution for Mac, especially when the platform already has pkgutil/pkgbuild. I really wish something like Rudix [0] had taken off instead of homebrew since it's far superior.
Popularity doesn't mean quality and the entitlement of that tweet would be a red flag to me as an interviewer.

- zbentley 9y agoPopularity may not inherently imply quality, but enough popularity over time correlates with a gradual improvement in quality. Homebrew has improved a ton over just a few short years. The Linux ecosystem did the same, as did many other projects that started out as a popular-but-less-featureful/reliable alternative. If it's been awhile since you tried it, I'd check it out.
