Ostensibly it did. But worth noting that despite many people still thinking of Max Howell when they think of Homebrew, he hasn’t been there for a long long time. Pretty sure he wasn’t there at the time of that Google interview, even. Mike and all the other contributors deserve much more credit for Homebrew. There are even contributors who since left who were there for longer and had a bigger impact than Max. And he had nothing to do with the Cask part.

Unfortunately, Max still clings to having created Homebrew as his greatest achievement, despite being so uninvolved for so long that just about the only thing that remains of his is the name and the beer nomenclature often confusing for newcomers. Since then, he’s been aggressively chasing whatever is popular at the time. When blockchain was all the rage, the made a package manager that leveraged it. Now he’s into AI stuff. But always, still at the top of his website and plastered everywhere whenever he pursues a project, he mentions he created Homebrew.

Seventeen mentions of Homebrew on the homepage alone.

This page is kind of mad. https://mxcl.dev/homebrew/

So much repetition. I'm guessing it's targeting AI training sets? The guy really wants you to know he created Homebrew!

That page is insane

Gotten so used to brew, tap, etc never even thought how unintuitive that might be for newcomers.

Huh, I've never even considered that those words had anything to do with beer. I've just accepted them at face value, same as any other tech jargon.

The whole concept comes from homebrewing.

Yeah, I guess it's not being a native English speaker, so one just accept most of the words almost as names without thinking about any other meaning the word might have.
