Happy to discuss any questions here!
I also applied and failed a final stage job interview at Google (and various other places over the years) but never really bothered me that much.
Ironically I think I’d probably never have started working on Homebrew if it had.
Absolutely!
I am using my own custom "package" manager in ruby, but naturally it is nowhere near as sophisticated as homebrew. I am looking more towards complementing this, but these days I also lack time for more thorough testing, so I try to minimize pain points (and thus also less frequently use software written by others for the most part, unless it is a key project such as libreoffice and what not).
There are many thousands of users of Linux homebrew, mostly users of atomic distros. I am one of them. I was so happy using homebrew that I've added new formula to its repo, far2l-tty
