- yCombLinks 6y agoMaybe he's a douchebag and was efficiently filtered out.
- NateEag 6y agoPeople seem to assume Google was wrong not to hire him. Is Google in the business of building open source package managers? If not, why should his experience there mean he should have gotten the job?
- garmaine 6y agoBecause he develops a tool that other google developers use daily. If hiring him and directing his efforts leads to even a 0.1% productivity improvement in those developers, it would be Worth it.

- Wowfunhappy 6y agoInteresting! Did you work there? Do they have an internal package manager of some kind? (in a meek voice) ...do they use MacPorts?
- vikinghckr 6y agoNot OP, but Googler here. We use an internal Linux distro for all our development. It's very similar to Ubuntu (so the default package manager is apt). People who have a Macbook use it as a thin client to ssh into their Linux desktops. So OS X package manager isn't really needed or used.

- cutemonster 6y agoThey cannot work remote if there's no wifi? Apt -- that means it's a Debian based distro right? Interesting that it's not Fedora
