I interviewed and passed at google. Through 6 interviews I used JS, C, Go, and Swift. One of the tougher Qs was to make a pretty full-featured promise library from scratch in whatever language I wanted in one of those interviews. Chose Swift because I'm a fan of the syntax for blocks (esp when whiteboarding). Feedback was that was my best interview of the day. My experience - they wanted to know I could program, didn't care about language.

You wrote a promise library in Swift on a whiteboard? What?

How large was this whiteboard?

What is a promise library? Sounds rather complex, how does that even fit on a whiteboard?

This product is awesome. We use it every day. Excited to watch it as it grows and gets more features!

Nice job Anirudh! You and the team did some awesome work!

I get that DHH doesn't believe in this whole trend of over-valuation of companies that don't make any cash, but doesn't this article give you the sense that they're a little bit jealous that they're not in that group?

This article was written in 2009 by Jason Fried.

I think their take is that the valuation is a BS metric. Sure it is a calculation based on the cash paid for the equity but that doesn't mean that someone is going to go in and pay the $X valuated for the 100% equity.

I imagine that 37 Signals is doing just fine with their revenues and all told will probably be laughing their way to the bank with their total lifetime value when all is said and done.

As they say, profit doesn't make you happy but I'd rather cry in a Pagani Zonda.
