It would be pretty cool to have Steve Jobs and Sergey Brin fighting over you as an employee, wonder who it was.

Fascinating to see the amount of coordination at play to suppress wages/etc even while they're trying to poach and compete with each other.
Ha, we're totally not building a browser, nope, not us! I suppose perhaps that was true at that moment. When did they start making Chrome?

Would be absolutely hilarious if these series of calls and emails led to the development of Chrome
Although Chrome eventually diverged years later with the development of Blink, Chrome was the result of a multi-company, industry-wide unification strategy on WebKit, the core of Safari.

>WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE, and has since been further developed by KDE contributors, Apple, Google, Nokia, Bitstream, BlackBerry, Sony, Igalia, and others. WebKit supports macOS, Windows, Linux, and various other Unix-like operating systems. On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome and the Opera web browser, under the name Blink.

"Sergey Brin and Steve Jobs got into a yelling match over me."
Obviously that's stretching the truth a bit but that would get a lot of attention pretty quickly. Maybe enough to skip the leetcode challenges.

This line of thought seems somewhat nefarious. I suppose you could say it was just to fight back against msie, but in retrospect it feels like a plan to dominate web development.
