My favorite response was on Quora where someone asked a similar question and mentioned that "Most GitHubbers wouldn't even pass a Google interview". I certainly wouldn't. And would promptly get myself fired within the week.
- josephg 15y agoOnly if you swear at all the interviewers Holman. (jokes :D) The biggest problem with google acquiring github is that github would be expected to integrate with google's infrastructure; which would be a monumental engineering task. I can't see that happening in any way that wouldn't hurt github somehow. The best case would be that months of github's engineering time is taken away from new features. The worst case is that github is integrated with google code somehow; which would probably result in a revolt by github's users. I think an acquisition by google would only hurt the open source community. Google likes us too much to risk that.
