Föderation EN Mi 08.01.2025 02:06:21 I’m delighted to see @codinghorror step up to be a thing that’s sorely needed in tech right now: a leader. He actually *gives* half of his current net worth (it’s not just a pledge — he already cut the checks) to 8 organizations that are helping the most vulnerable. https://blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-america/ It’s an powerful move, right when it matters most. Over the years, I’ve called Jeff a friend, a huge pain the in ass, a sharp technical mind, and now it’s great to call him an inspiration. |
