I mean, homebrew is completely inapplicable to what Google makes its money off of, so it's not particularly surprising. I would not be surprised if I wasn't able to be hired in anything but a junior role at a very niche medical technology company for example. Or a java desktop app shop (I have no java experience). For some reason people are under the impression that Google makes its money from 'doing computer science', and mistakenly think that anyone good at something that qualifies as computer science ought to be able to work there. Aside from the obvious (and oft-repeated) critique of rampant Google fetishism, it's important to note that Google does actually operate several businesses, and its goal when hiring engineering talent is to find talent that will help its business. Homebrew, a package manager for OS X (I don't think Google uses OS X for anything but consumer apps), is completely orthogonal to most of their business.
