Back when Chuck Norris facts were popular there were Jeff Dean facts, and this one is my favorite:

Jeff Dean puts his pants on one leg at a time. But if he had more than two legs, you would see that his approach is actually O(log(n)).

Oh, and do unintentional jokes count? Because AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean is pretty funny. https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/3.0.6.RELEASE_t...



My favorite was resolving merge conflicts: type “a y” to accept your version of the diff, “a t” to accept their version of the diff, or “a j” to accept Jeff Dean’s version of the diff.

I think another asserted that Jeff Dean can parse HTML with regular expressions.
