Like so much at Adchemy, that technology would be a throwaway, but the knowledge I gained there, from poring over Google’s RTB technical documentation and passing Google’s merciless integration tests with our code, would set me light-years ahead of the clueless product team at Facebook years later. If you had told me at the time I wouldn’t have believed you, but one day I’d be writing the technical docs and running the integration tests for Google’s biggest ad exchange competitor, Facebook Exchange.
