I'm a VP of Engineering now and I made it here without ever having to do any of the above and most engineers I've worked with haven't had to do any of that either. Your experience isn't the norm and you also sound incredibly arrogant and out of touch.

Well, thank you very much for the last part.

However, I have needed to do most of the above. Usually as part of a team, thankfully. Happy to learn that you didn't. YMMV.

I'd guess that Google wants to hire engineers who can do that, too.
