The dosubot also downvoted its own first post in that thread lmao

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I assume that's so others can more easily downvote it. This was common on discord bots too, it's just an easy select menu.

If anyone hasn't made the connection, mxcl is the infamous Google interview binary tree guy

He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.

While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full "don't you know who I am" shit fit on social media.

"They don’t matter to our mission and honestly we’re a little confused about this reaction."

How? How are you confused? You have been misrepresenting peoples project. It's mind boggling. I'm more than a little confused about your confusion.

run anything—from the creator of brew.

brew is homebrew, right?

I didn't like how homebrew was managed, and apparently they are going down fast.

It’s better now. No more bottles and kegs. This time it’s barrels, vintages and terroirs.
