Why does everyone on HN seem to care so much about what Google does in interviews? We get it, no one likes weird off-topic brainteasers. Be a better engineer so you don't have to worry about having them on your resume and you'll be good.

Because all other companies just cargo cult what google does in interviews. If you want to switch jobs then this is interesting.

Fair enough

Because, among other things, having it on your resume gets you an interview almost anywhere else.
