Steve is one of the amazing guys I have ever known. He answered all of my questions in IRC, he is such nice guy. I truly like him a lot. and most important point is Rust team chose him , because they realized how wonderful he is in communicating with people and being leader of community.

As far as I can tell he answers every question, and corrects every inaccuracy across at least these platforms: twitter, hackernews, reddit, [users|internals].rust-lang.org, irc; its mind blowing. Honestly, a talk on how he stays so connected without being awake 24/7 would be interesting ;) Thanks, for all the hard work, Steve. You're devotion helped turn me into someone who loves Rust.

  Thanks both, and achanda358! It's taken lots of work. I think I'm a nicer and better person in Rust than I was in Ruby, but that's all I'll say about that. I am very much not a perfect human being. > Honestly, a talk on how he stays so connected without being awake 24/7 would be interesting ;) I wrote a blog post on that a while back: http://words.steveklabnik.com/how-do-you-find-the-time http://words.steveklabnik.com/how-do-you-find-the-time it's still mostly accurate kinda.

    This post is amazing! The best quote is ... "For example, the biggest time I scrubbed out in my entire life was a choice that I made almost a decade ago: going to college." A refreshing insight from a very intelligent individual!

      I have more complex feels about it as a general thing, but for me, I'm not sure I made the right call. I did learn a lot, and I made some very dear friends, but it was extremely expensive. If you (or anyone reading) are someone who's making this decision, please give it serious consideration, and don't just copy me: this is a really, really big choice to make in your life, and one you deserve to make for yourself.
