TIL I'm not a software engineer. Who knew!

> While you have a valuable skillset, it's not what Google needs from a software engineer. You're good at a different job.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12653628. Far more "software engineers" at Google do the exact same thing that I do all day long than do the type of work you're referring to.

If you're not a software engineer, why bring up your accomplishments as evidence that Google should hire you as one?

I'm pretty sure that the people who Google hires to do Javascript/HTML/CSS do not normally go through this type of interview.

Completely false.
