I can't be the only non-OSX/MacOS user in here wondering who the hell Max Howell is, right? I've looked it up since. Anyway, why does it take this much to say

I can't be the only non-OSX/MacOS user in here wondering who the hell Max Howell is, right? I've looked it up since. Anyway, why does it take this much to say something we all know true? You don't have to be a good software engineer, a good team player, even a good person to be able to have a good idea for a program, execute it and it be popular. Homebrew was clearly key to people being able to develop on OSX. What I don't understand is why some of you have beatified Max. Making something you like doesn't automatically speak to its or his technical merits. Trading on the name of your products might be able to get you through the door but shouldn't get you through interviews, alone. He interviewed at somewhere where they demand you're an exceptional software engineer, academically and executionally. He's neither. The result isn't a shock.
