Right, so he haven't done the test yet, so .. ?

Maybe he helped create the C language, but ...

Alright. Perhaps Google should consider making an exception to their rule here ?

come on, the secret of success really is people with common sense. once you're forced to install more than general rules meant to set the marching direction you know you're heading south.

or to stay in metaphor land: i used to defend google in discussions since they always seemed to pull out more magic out of their collective hats, but this, is a sure sign that the rats should start contemplating another ship.

[mr. iknoweverything]

Ok, he created B (which Denis Ritchie turned into C) and helped create Unix 37 years. But on the other hand he helped create Go, so it's probably justified to verify his current coding skills (since it seems more like he jumped the shark rather than google).
