Kind, brilliant, inspiring, funny, curious, joyful, passionate, beloved - Jim Weirich was a wonderful human. 10 yrs ago today he was suddenly gone. Those who knew him will never forget him. Thanks for everything, @jimweirich. We *still* miss you. tinyurl.com/missyoujimweir…
@pragprog @jimweirich I watched an old video of Jim on the Y Combinator recently. Fascinating, fun and mind blowing. He must have been a great human to get to know.
@pragprog @jimweirich A true gentleman. Thank you Jim
@pragprog @pragdave @jimweirich It was an honor to meet him at Ruby conference
@pragprog @jimweirich InfoQ was the place to watch great programming talks. First time I watched @jimweirich's talks was years before he left us, I fell in love in coding & it's community. And @pragdave's talks -until today- about Ruby & programming are inspiring & fulfilling. Both are Ruby 💎 gifts.
@pragprog @jimweirich What a legend. I ported his RubyKoans to the web (koans.idogawa.com) this month. The code was so impressive, human and the concept still relevant.
