Jeffrey Dean，簡單來說，這貨是Google牛逼的源泉之一。因為此人實在太牛了，於是出現了關於他有多牛的幾個笑話，直接笑翻，和大家共享下。

  1. During his own Google interview, Jeff Dean was asked the implications if P=NP were true. He said, "P = 0 or N = 1." Then, before the interviewer had even finished laughing, Jeff examined Google』s public certificate and wrote the private key on the whiteboard.

當他被Google面試時，Jeff Dean被問及如果P=NP意味著什麼。他說，「P=0 或者 N=1」。然後，在所有的面試官還沒笑完之前，Jeff瞄了一眼Google的公共證書然後在白板上寫上了對應的私鑰。

  1. Compilers don』t warn Jeff Dean. Jeff Dean warns compilers.

Jeff出生於1969年12月31日的下午11點48分，然後他花了整整12分鐘的時間實現了他的第一個計時器。（背景：電腦中的計時器數值通常被設計為從1970年1月1日0點0分0秒到當前為止的秒數）

  1. When Jeff Dean sends an ethernet frame there are no collisions because the competing frames retreat back up into the buffer memory on their source nic.

  1. Unsatisfied with constant time, Jeff Dean created the world's first O(1/n)algorithm.

Jeff對常量的時間複雜度並不滿足，於是他創造了世界上第一個O(1/n)的演算法。（即隨著問題規模的增大，其解決問題所花的時間會越短）

  1. Jeff Dean was forced to invent asynchronous APIs one day when he optimized a function so that it returned before it was invoked.

Jeff曾被迫發明了非同步API，原因是經他優化後的某個函數會在調用開始前返回

  1. When Jeff Dean designs software, he first codes the binary and then writes the source as documentation.

當Jeff寫軟體時，他是直接碼機器碼的。寫源程式碼只是為了作為文檔使用。

  1. Jeff Dean wrote an O(n^2) algorithm once. It was for the Traveling Salesman Problem.

Jeff曾無奈寫過一次O(n^2)的演算法，其解決的問題是旅行商問題。（該問題是NPC的，即電腦中最複雜最難解決的一類問題，許多人相信這些問題是沒有多項式時間複雜度的解的）

  1. Jeff Dean can beat you at connect four. In three moves.

Jeff在四子連珠的遊戲中能贏你，在三步內

  1. When your code has undefined behavior, you get a seg fault and corrupted data. When Jeff Dean's code has undefined behavior, a unicorn rides in on a rainbow and gives everybody free ice cream.
