- snprbob86 18y agoI'm almost certain it is Jeff Dean. During my 3 month internship at Google, his name came up EVERYWHERE. 1) He is a primary author on all of Google's major infrastructure-related publications (BigTable, MapReduce, etc) 2) I've seen his internal resume. It is CRAZY. 3) Just for fun/learning I took some time and wrote an internal web app which produced pie graphs showing peoples line counts navigable by directory. I didn't run it on the entire code base because Perforce is a dog, but what I did run it on, he dominated. 4) There is an internal web app listing Chuck Norris -style Jeff Dean facts. I learned that when Jeff Dean launches his profiler, loops unroll themselves in fear. That man is certainly Done, and Gets Things Smart. In fact, he has been 40 times more Done ever since he upgraded his keyboard to USB 2.0. Not to mention that during downtime, he alone handles all Google searches by hand.

- xirium 18y agoAs a stopgap measure, check the Paul Graham "facts" ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=60357 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=60357 ) and the Bruce Schneier "facts" ( http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/ http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/ ).
- snprbob86 18y agoJeff Dean builds his code before committing it, but only to check for compiler and linker bugs. When Jeff Dean has an ergonomic evaluation, it is for the protection of his keyboard. All pointers point to Jeff Dean. http://research.google.com/people/jeff/index.html http://research.google.com/people/jeff/index.html
