Ayers Charlie. Eat Yourself Smart

Dorling Kindersley, 2008. — 258 p. — ISBN 9781405328043.I was employee number 53 at Google, and even though I really wanted the job I thought Larry and Sergey were crazy when they hired me. Sergey told me that Google would grow to be tens of thousands of employees. I laughed. “Some of the best restaurants in Palo Alto are all around you,” I said. “Go there.” Sergey said that was not very efficient – it takes away from their productivity to have everyone going out to eat. Those Google guys (in the beginning, they really were all guys) were curious and adventurous, and wanted exciting flavours. They were from all parts of the country, and all over the world. They were young, most of them recently out of school, and they worked all the time. They missed their families and they missed their mamas’ cooking. They were eating burritos and pizza every day because they barely had time to shower, much less worry about what to eat.
