“Mike extemporizes Python code at the speed he can describe what he's doing. "Let's loop through the categories *type type* and for each one build a hash table where the key is the last name *type type* and find the bucket with the most entries *type type* and pick a random one *type type*. That ought to work." If you know how fast Mike talks, you can sort of grasp how fast he codes!”
