I imagine a job offer from Apple won't be too far away!
- ttul 2y agoThey had better swing this person an offer before they go to the dark side!
- paulryanrogers 2y agoApple didn't make an offer to the HomeBrew founder. So maybe don't hold your breath.
- thisislife2 2y agoWhy would they when Homebrew was amateurish compared to MacPorts built by Apple engineers? (For e.g. it didn't follow accepted unix conventions or macOs conventions on installing libraries for a long time. See this discussion thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34818192 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34818192 and this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34844292 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34844292 for more details). But credit where credit due - the founder is a better marketer than developer and more people know about Homebrew than MacPorts.
