Re: Youtube Instant creator gets instant job offer
#23I know Feross Aboukhadijeh personally. He graduated from my high school a year before me. For those who are talking about the "lengthy hiring processes", he just completed an internship at Google this summer.
He also founded http://www.freetheflash.com/ and http://www.studynotes.com/.
Check out his impressive resume at http://www.feross.org/Resume_Feross_Aboukhadijeh.pdf
He's definitely more than capable of producing at his new YouTube gig (assuming he will take it).

#26Good for him and all, even though the search results were: 1) Painfully slow compared to Instant's realtime. 2) Only one at at time. 3) Text. (People respond to visual cues, and for a vid site, better to have thumbnails display in the results with captions.)

#27Is YouTube exempt from Google's lengthy indirect hiring processes?
Don Dodge went from being fired at Microsoft to hired at Google in 11 days. So if the person is senior enough they can just hire you. Apparently Vic Gundotra hired Don (VP of Engineering).

#28Must have been one of the most exciting days of his life. Not just the job, but the recognition for something cool he made!
