Jeffrey Dean，简单来说，这货是Google牛逼的源泉之一。因为此人实在太牛了，于是出现了关于他有多牛的几个笑话，直接笑翻，和大家共享下。
- 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.
当他被Google面试时，Jeff Dean被问及如果P=NP意味着什么。他说，“P=0 或者 N=1”。然后，在所有的面试官还没笑完之前，Jeff瞄了一眼Google的公共证书然后在白板上写上了对应的私钥。

- Jeff Dean was born on December 31, 1969 at 11:48 PM. It took him twelve minutes to implement his first time counter.
Jeff出生于1969年12月31日的下午11点48分，然后他花了整整12分钟的时间实现了他的第一个计时器。（背景：计算机中的计时器数值通常被设计为从1970年1月1日0点0分0秒到当前为止的秒数）
- 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.

- Unsatisfied with constant time, Jeff Dean created the world's first O(1/n)algorithm.
Jeff对常量的时间复杂度并不满足，于是他创造了世界上第一个O(1/n)的算法。（即随着问题规模的增大，其解决问题所花的时间会越短）
- Jeff Dean was forced to invent asynchronous APIs one day when he optimized a function so that it returned before it was invoked.
Jeff曾被迫发明了异步API，原因是经他优化后的某个函数会在调用开始前返回
- When Jeff Dean designs software, he first codes the binary and then writes the source as documentation.
当Jeff写软件时，他是直接码机器码的。写源代码只是为了作为文档使用。
- Jeff Dean wrote an O(n^2) algorithm once. It was for the Traveling Salesman Problem.
Jeff曾无奈写过一次O(n^2)的算法，其解决的问题是旅行商问题。（该问题是NPC的，即计算机中最复杂最难解决的一类问题，许多人相信这些问题是没有多项式时间复杂度的解的）
- Jeff Dean can beat you at connect four. In three moves.
Jeff在四子连珠的游戏中能赢你，在三步内
- 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.

- Jeff starts his programming sessions with 'cat > /dev/mem'.
Jeff在开始编程之前，会做'cat > /dev/mem'。（即把输入的内容直接导到内存中）
