This should open by stating the fact of death of Christian Brink, and the author's nominal relationship to him (cofounder). The piece refects on the author's sense of loss, as expressed through the experience of their relationship. I sympathize.

If something is (for some reason or other) above critique, it does not, in my opinion, belong on this site.
Providing a shallow drive-by "critique" of the writing style or information delivery, especially with such an emotional topic, does not contribute to the conversation in any way.
This is Hacker News, not "Rate my Writing".

The title "On the Death of a Cofounder" was insufficient?
