Years ago, I started at Google, and was in Charlie's cafe, eating alone. I'm sitting there, and up walks Ken Thompson. He sits down, introduces himself as Ken, and asks me what I work on. We sat there for a good 40 minutes just chatting.
One of my coolest memories of working at Google was that time. He was so down to earth, never bothered to talk up about who he was (even though I knew). I really appreciated that.
- pk2200 9y agoI have a similar Google lunch story. A guy sat down, introduced himself as Rob, and told me it was his first day at Google. We had a nice chat, and later I told my office mate that the new guy seemed really smart. He laughed and told me I'd just had lunch with Rob Pike. :)
