There is no slander in his tweet, he reported the FACT, may be a tad-bit dramatic, but FACT none the less. I just cannot understand why people think, Job seekers should cower down in public in fear not getting a future offer. To the hell with it, speak your mind, live like a boss even it means you make a little less financially, its better than being a rich coward.
The only facts in this tweet are:
- The guy made Homebrew
- The guy interviewed at Google
- The guy was not offered a job at Google after his interview.
Anything else is unconfirmed and, speaking as someone who's thrown quite a few frustrated hyperboles onto the internet, sounds like frustrated hyperbole.
Frustrated hyperbole should not be taken at face value as fact; sometimes there's truth in a smaller version of what's said, but not always.
For example, there is no fact established that Google hired him because he can't "invert a binary tree". In actual fact, we don't know that Google even asked him to invert a binary tree (at least not specifically). It could be that they asked him a question that he thought was as irrelevant as academic datastructure exercises.
And we don't know that his answer was the reason he got turned down either. This is the part of the hiring process (and really any human interaction) that takes the maturity of recognizing that people and their motivations/reasoning are more complex than we reflexively flatten them out to be.

What facts are you talking about? The "facts" coming from half the parties involved? The "facts" coming from an upset and irrationally thinking person who's caught up in the moment?
