Engineers don’t pick products anymore. That died a long time ago

  Kind of the point - the engineers rejected the guy because (in their perception) he wasn't good enough at leetcode or some esoteric language feature or whatever - meanwhile they were blind to the fact that he possessed a skill that was far more valuable to the company, which they themselves had no ability to recognize or evaluate.

  Yeah most of Google's successful products are acquisitions, not homegrown.
