I have said this elsewhere on this thread, but just to reemphasize: the person that Brendan met had absolutely nothing to do with DTrace -- to the point that when he told this story to me, I didn't even recognize the name. (And can't now remember it.) The DTrace team was very small (there were three of us), and the community of early DTrace users inside of Sun -- the earliest folks who could rightfully call themselves DTrace experts -- can be seen in the acknowledgements section of our 2004 USENIX paper.[0]
