We were hanging out in the garage of a mutual friend, chatting. Got to the "what do you do" section of the conversation, and he says he works in massively parallel stuff at XYZ corp. Something something, GPUs.
I make the obvious "can you make a Beowulf cluster?" joke, to which he responds (after a pregnant pause), "you... do know who I am?"
Yep. Donald Becker. A slightly awkward moment, I'll cherish forever.
