# Overview Google Foobar was a secret recruiting program by Google designed to hire developers based on their coding skills. The program was invite-only and usually based off your search history. There were also puzzles that you could solve to get an invite. It looks like the program has been discontinued as of April 1st, 2024 according to foobar.withgoogle.com text description in search results. Back in 2020 I solved a puzzle and got access to Google Foobar. I learned Python while I went through the challenge. This was also a great exposure to bitwise operators and markov chains.
