Well, Django sucks for real-time chat


lol hate speech (fun speech lbh) drives traffic


I see nothing but glazing and worship for talentless managers from Google of all piece of shit places. Just an Indian shithole in the middle of the Bay Area that doesn't do anything innovative


What is the most impressive thing Jeff has ever done?

I only see "co-created" "co-founded" "managed a team" - what did he actually do?


Here's a list of accomplishments: https://github.com/LRitzdorf/TheJeffDeanFacts


Garbage in. Garbage out.

I can't believe how many people on this site worship talentless managers.


Before Jeff Dean was a "manager", he got a > Ph.D. in computer science from the department that would become the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington in 1996, working under Craig Chambers on compilers[8] and whole-program optimization techniques for object-oriented programming languages.[9]

So he's got no shortage of talent as an IC.


Jeff Dean invented MapReduce and Bigtable.

Say what you want about their later years, but Dean and Ghemawat deserve their title of engineer.


They wrote the paper, they did not build it.

Gemini (stolen technology they had nothing to do with) says:

Jeff and Sanjay led the development, but they collaborated with a small team of engineers to build and refine the database.

So, who were the engineers who actually built it? It lists "Fay Chang, Howard Gobioff, Mike Burrows, Wilson Hsieh, Deborah Wallach" but Idk if it's accurate.

I know that these talentless managers didn't do anything, that's for sure


IIRC Sanjay was literally never a manager and Jeff was not a manager until like a decade after MapReduce was built.

And of course they didn’t build it alone, that’s the point of companies and teams.


Guitar Hero is an infinite scroll of notes coming at you. Will that game be allowed in the dystopia?


The notes end when the song does, then you can start another song or stop playing. Do you ever run out of posts when scrolling?
