- aquariusDue 3mo agoIt's OK! We can disguise it as the Secretary Problem and it'll be fine, we could even write a post on the company blog about it. /s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem
- gregates 3mo agoGiven how often it's been mentioned here, it's likely that this is an urban legend that people are pretending to have first-hand knowledge of for karma. In a trade that's supposed to be led by people trained in sciences, no less! (A more charitable interpretation would be that aforementioned CTO was making a joke that didn't land.)
