The Internet has changed the way we think, feel about the people who passed away.<p>We leave so many footprints online about our existence which we don&#x27;t think about much. But they have a special meaning for people who care and think about us.<p>It just reminds and gives some sort of illusion that maybe we are still here, maybe just taking a walk, we will come back home for dinner like every other day.

I hope someone will continue his work in that repo, it&#x27;s really sad to see that he was the only contributor and now that he&#x27;s gone, it&#x27;ll likely go abandoned.<p>We&#x27;re entering the era where the passing of legends happens in real time and is immediately visible. It&#x27;s crushing to see something like this.

Very sad news. RIP.<p>He died at 57. My retirement plan starts at 65 and and I&#x27;m in the same physical shape he was. Why should I continue putting money in my 401k if chances are I&#x27;ll never use it?

Poignant to see such a large outpouring of love from the community. Can&#x27;t help but be inspired...

:(<p>Feel bad for suggesting there was dog shit on the path of enlightenment! But he fixed the ruby koans package, so we continue to learn!
