Google celebrated its 21st birthday with an adorable and special doodle today. The search engine was founded by two Stanford Ph.D. students, Sergey Brin and Lawrence (Larry) Page, 21 years ago in September 1998.

Larry and Sergey invented Google in their dormitories at Stanford in California. The two had published a paper about launching a prototype of a large-scale search engine.

Before discovering Google, the two had also developed a search algorithm known as Backrub’. However, the two zeroed in on the name Google for their project because it resembled with the name googol which is a mathematical term meaning 10 raised to the power of 100.

In fact they wrote about this in their paper too, "We chose our systems name, Google, because it is a common spelling of googol, or 10100 and fits well with our goal of building very large-scale search engines."

C# Interfaces: Dangerous Assumptions in Default Implementation ⚠️

One of the features that is being promoted about C# 8 interfaces is that we can add members to an interface without breaking existing implementers. ✅

But we can cause a lot of pain if we aren't careful. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let's look at some code that makes bad assumptions so that we can understand the importance of avoiding these problems. ⛔️
