>One of the most commonly cited perks of being at Google is the ability to ask anything of anyone. Have a question about HTML 5? Shoot hixie an e-mail. Digging into the internals of Python? Guido works there, as do a number of other core Pythonistas. Building a Go app? Rob Pike can answer.
I think you make some really good points - but I would like to mention that you can also get feedback from really smart people in our field and lots of people working on projects like these by participating in mailing lists and hanging out on IRC.
- wzdd 16y agoRight -- this commonly comes up as a perk of Google, but (for example) I've dug into Python internals and I haven't yet found a reason to contact Guido about it. More to the point: if I did, he seems like a reasonable guy, and I expect he would respond just as well on python-dev regardless of my place of employment.
