Four a.m. alarms. Burbank to San Jose on Southwest. A rented room in Susan Wojcicki\u2019s house. He expected the search engine engineering and instead he got asked to build ad serving. In Java and with JSPs and no syntax highlighting and no delimiter balancing. Launch week was a stampede and then a window on his screen fills with declines. Numbers he can\u2019t explain. Some of them look\u2026 real. How do you even name what\u2019s happening? &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This episode is about creating Google AdWords.
