After three internships at Microsoft, one internship at Apple, and three years at Google, Gayle Laakmann decided that she'd spent enough time at the biggies. She left Google with best wishes to her co-workers and went out to explore the world. She spent six weeks in Argentina and three weeks in Asia. Gayle is now back in Seattle exploring the startup scene.
Gayle Laakmann spends her time working on CareerCup and Seattle Anti-Freeze. CareerCup is a source for technical interviews, job postings, interview training, and more. Seattle Anti-Freeze is a company Gayle founded a year ago that organizes parties and other events for people in their 20s and 30s.
Barack Obama is speaking at Google today. Supposedly, Eric Schmidt explained his speaking at Google was kind of like an interview. When we interview candidates at Google, we like to ask technical questions.Schmidt: What's the fastest way to sort 32 bit numbers?Sure, we'd expect a little more from a technical candidate, but as a presidential candidate, I'd say that's not too bad of an answer!
Barack: Not bubble-sort.
I believe he actually said "I can tell you one thing: a bubble sort will not be the right path" or something along those lines.
