Is this the guy who was complaining that he didn't get hired by Google even though he made brew? Maybe there were personality issues at play...

I checked out his X account and yep, that's the guy.

If you search for "max howell google interview" it comes up, if you search for "max howell alphabet interview", no dice.

This has nothing to do with Homebrew. It's a different project.

Yeah, but the relationship makes my spidey senses tingle even if it's not accurate.

Is there something horrible I'm missing here? It's just a not so well designed page of links to Github repos.

Edit: Oh, the Github issue, yeah that's screwed up.

Consider re-attuning your spidey senses away from inaccurate things!
