Congrats on the job, what does PG's work mean? Is PG a person?

Yes. PG is famous for writing pithy and insightful comic essays about the indolent British upper classes(1). He speaks with a slight lisp(2), having once bitten his tongue while eating breakfast(3). His writings are also noted for abundant citation of references(4).

PG stands for Paul Graham, a guy who posts to this site a lot. You'll get to know him if you hang around here more.
