Thanks for writing this. I've been taking a "break" and am finishing up work on my own project. I got one of these emails from a Google recruiter last week.

Thanks for writing this. I've been taking a "break" and am finishing up work on my own project. I got one of these emails from a Google recruiter last week. I had applied to Google back in 2009, but chickened and canceled the interview after I read about the useless and non-trivial theoretical questions they ask. After reading this, I think I'll still pass. But for different reasons :).
