Sanjay Ghemawat is another one.
- enitihas 9y agoGhemawat should definitely be one. I sometimes wonder why Dean is teated on a wholly different level than Ghemawat. If you look at their works, almost all of them involve both. Probably someone with more knowledge can shed some light here.
- ebikelaw 9y agoI think I've heard "Jeff and Sanjay" as often as or more often than I've heard them regarded separately. Who invented protobuf? Jeff and Sanjay. Etc.
- jakevoytko 9y agoIn my experience, hearing people treat "JeffAndSanjay" as a single entity is way more common within Google than it is industry-wide.
- segmondy 9y agoI'm not in Google, I hear of Jeff more often. I occasionally forget that Sanjay exists until reminded.
- jedberg 9y ago> I sometimes wonder why Dean is teated on a wholly different level than Ghemawat Racism.
- kolpa 9y agoIn part, at least subconsciously and since Jeff Dean is a more soundbyte-friendly name than Sanjay Ghemawat (Although "Ghemawat" is an awesome term for a unit of brainpower, akin to the "Wolfram" unit of ego.) Also, Ghemawat is less of a public speaker and is not a manager
- perfmode 9y agoSanjay makes fewer public appearances.
- galieos_ghost 9y agoJeff Dean memes
- puzzle 9y agoInside Google, they're roughly the same. You used to refer to them together, they sat next to each other, worked on the same projects as you point out, roughly until Jeff started Brain. Outside of Google, Jeff is more popular probably because he gives all the talks and interviews (plus his legends...). I'm sure Sanjay has presented a few times, but I can't recall any, while Jeff has been everywhere and his slides are linked to all the time, e.g. the latency numbers all engineers should know.
- brutus1213 9y agoHeh .. I think I was in the audience at LADIS the first time he presented that slide (or maybe the first time I had heard of it). Feel really privileged.
