for Bret Taylor
I’ve never encountered anyone else who combines being an incredible engineer, and being an incredible product person, and an incredible manager, and an incredible designer. He is good at everything—it’s unfair!
for Craig Silverstein
was another, he was the very first Google employee. He is someone who types and programs faster than I can perceive what he’s doing. Sometimes I like to watch other engineers work so I can learn how they do things. But with Craig he moved too fast for that. The screen would flicker and code would just appear. He’d constantly be flipping buffers in Emacs or whatever. He types so fast. I’ve never seen anyone else that fast
