If anyone hasn't made the connection, mxcl is the infamous Google interview binary tree guy

He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.

While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full "don't you know who I am" shit fit on social media.
