ridiculousfish is the smartest programmer I've ever met. I hired him at Apple years ago, and while I could regale you with tales of how awesome he is, Apple would probably sue me. That said, if you've ever played World of Warcraft on the Mac, you should worship him as a god. :-)

If you ever find a way to regale us without being sued, I am all ears :) His blog is that perfect combination of really meaty articles that are published infrequently enough to really be savoured.

This dude is pretty much my dream cofounder. Math background, aesthetically intuitive, intellectually curious, specifically interested in psychology, and clearly a talented programmer. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Corydoras_semiaquilus_1.jpg/800px-Corydoras_semiaquilus_1.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Cor...

  Wooster would never let him go. Better to offer woost an irresistable offer, then go after this fellow. Seriously beautiful post layout

    >Seriously beautiful post layout Shame about the blog chrome. Seriously all I had above the fold was the fish picture and until I looked at the scrollbar I'd nothing to indicate that the page had any content, I assumed it was some sort of flash game. Also within the post the code overflows the code boxes for me (I'm 2 clicks up on font size). Looks to be some problem on the all-posts page too - http://ridiculousfish.com/blog/all-posts/ http://ridiculousfish.com/blog/all-posts/ FWIW.

Sounds like the kind of guy I want to work with on a daily basis even if half the time he spent yelling at me for doing something stupid. After a few months I'd be such a better programmer.
