- hvs 7y agoI saw a presentation from him in Chicago on Ioke back when he was still working for Thoughtworks (2010?). Seemed like a very intelligent, interesting guy. Hadn't really followed what he was doing until this news. Life takes us in strange directions.
- Boulth 7y agoHe also worked on a new version of OTR: OTRv4.
- gimmeThaBeet 7y agoAh, bingo, I was scratching my head trying to remember where I'd heard the name, because I was sure it was definitely not in the Assange/wikileaks context. That's certainly wild.
- username223 7y agoIndeed. I heard of him back when he was a popular Ruby on Rails blogger, but had stopped paying attention years ago. It's crazy to see him arrested in Ecuador in association with WikiLeaks.
- taf2 7y agoI recall meeting him in 2006-7 at a railsconf talk he gave about jruby, seemed like a nice guy and pretty sharp too hopefully what he’s accused of isn’t true and he’ll be ok.
