You shouldn't have an inflated self opinion. (Duh!) But those were the words used to describe mxcl just because he opinionated that Google ought to have given him a more serious consideration given the software he had already produced.

It's my opinion that wasn't an unreasonable assessment (from mxcl). Although if indeed nearly nobody at Google uses Homebrew, as now multiple people are claiming, it was, no matter how reasonable, wrong.

So here's the thing.. he was given the STANDARD interview that every engineer has to pass. How was that not a serious consideration? How is it fair to his future potential colleagues that he got in "easy"? They need to depend on him and his problem solving abilities.

I think he saw the question, and basically just refused to grapple with it, thinking it was below him, and then the rest pretty much was inevitable.

It would be unfair if there was no reason to believe Google's interview process is flawless. But it isn't.

The rest of your post is speculation.
