#13I met Carlos few years back, Corona was just starting and he invited me to the office to debug performance issues on the game i'm working on using Corona SDK. He was helpful and accommodative, even during his busy schedule, a nice person overall, you will be missed Carlos :(

#18I am saddened by this news. I met Carlos a few years back in Palo Alto In the early days of corona. I am sad to learn about this. I was just thinking about him yesterday and wondering what he was up to as I had lost touch with him. RIP. Condolences to his family.

#20It's crazy how so many people come to HN from all over the planet, yet we always see many connections in the comments for threads like this. Other communities this large I don't seem to notice it as much, maybe just confirmation bias.
In any case, I remember chatting with Carlos shortly after the launch of Corona. It was still exciting times in mobile. The opportunities were big. It's easy to forget the courage it took to leave a senior role at a top company and face the risk and challenges.
