Anywho, building the package wasn't as altruistically motivated as I first imagined, since he was paid by Google to build it.
Edit: why the downvotes?
The AWS Elastic Beanstalk CLI imports my package, but, when prompted to interview with AWS, they absolutely insisted that I perform their clowny online technical screening.
They trust to use my code in their product, but they don't trust that I know basic programming skills. The real kick in the shins is that I successfully passed this screening years ago, which they don't seem to want to count. Anyway, there are a thousand other candidates, f'em.
I agree it’s interesting, but I’m glad they’re using it. It’s better than them not using it. From looking at the history, I saw they rolled their own GraphQL client first, and started using my package only a month ago. See https://github.com/cli/cli/pull/719 and https://github.com/cli/cli/pull/758.
Also, to clarify, I did most of the development of the package in 2017 on my own accord, and joined Google in 2018. They didn’t pay me to work on it.
