I actually don’t know where this guy got his name from, nor how exactly I stumbled upon him or his excellent book on Ruby, but one is for sure: He’s one of those adorable people with more than one or two skills. You can already get this if you read the first few pages of the aforementioned book, which is even if you’re not interested in Ruby still worth a read alone for all his genious anecdotes, weird examples and funny cartoons. So if you have half an hour or two, look at it and think about it.
And yet again something repeats which I already encountered in other areas of my life: At the time I get to know to a particular band or in this case software evangelist, they already retired for unknown reasons from their work. All the best for you, you lucky stiff. I’m sure you’ll also do an excellent job in the “offline world”, wherever you are…
