I loved the book. Thank you for your contributions to the world by writing it, and your contributions to open source. I'm sorry I never got the chance to meet you.
The frank humility of that answer has stuck with me over the years. And that simple 15min conversation has resulted in hours of contemplation. So thank you for making me think.
Pieter, I spoke with you back in 2013 at CodeMesh, about OSS development. I remember asking "if you default to merging PRs even if you don't agree with the, how can you assure quality control". And IIRC your answer was something along the lines of : "Why should I assume that I have the only answer for what quality is". The frank humility of that answer has stuck with me over the years. And that simple 15min conversat…
Funny, I read Culture and Empire before I got to use ZeroMQ at work. Small world. For what it's worth - all but nothing, I guess - I am sorry you are ill. I loved the book.

I didn't know who you were before today, but I now know you are a badass sir. Had a very close friend last year diagnosed with same disease / prognosis. My heart goes out to your and your family.
All the best.
I've thought a while ago about what would I do in a similar situation, besides you know - the common idea of spending more time with the loved ones, and I would probably write a memoir, maybe a book even, and leave it to descendants or to whomever will ever hear my name. I like to think that the mark people like you left on human development would warrant future interest. Sorry to hear about the sad news. It's the ki…
I'm lucky enough to have done all that since my first round, five years ago. So now it's wrapping things up and saying goodbye.
