I made it to the 4th interview with Google.  When they say they want a
"developer" they really mean they want a developer/sysadmin/kernel
hacker/c/c++ guru.  I nailed all the Python questions in interviews #2
and #3, but then at interview #4 they started asking inode questions,
how to implement a compiler, how to design my own version of
memcopy(), etc.  It didn't really matter to them that I had 2M
downloads on Google Play, or that I knew Ruby, Rails, Python, Django,
PHP, iOS and Java..  I didn't know how to move 2GBs of memory from
here to there without using memcopy(), so that was that :(

My story above was a preface to the fact that "basic knowledge"
usually isn't enough for hot tech companies like Google.  From what I
understand Facebook is becoming more C and less PHP all the time.  And
I imagine they use a lot of C and assembly at Cisco since that's
mostly embedded device work.

Doubt it, but good luck all the same :)
