One thing that used to make Google special was that the last step in that exchange almost never happened. A more typical ending was:
- Fine, I did it for you in my 20% time. Will you review the code?
- Sure, thanks! And here's a nice peer bonus too.
But maybe that's a thing of the past? It's been many years since I worked there.
