    I'm sure you know much of this, but essentially: - August 2009, he died. (i.e. removed his entire estate and entity from the web after being doxxed) - He reappeared for one day in 2013, to release a 100 page document on a briefly live printer queue called "CLOSURE" (and a few other potentially unrelated posts such as youtube videos), which can be found here: https://github.com/steveklabnik/CLOSURE https://github.com/steveklabnik/CLOSURE - His estate, preserved as much as it can be, is here: https://viewsourcecode.org/why/ https://viewsourcecode.org/why/ - A few months after CLOSURE was released, Steve Klabnik gave a talk on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaWHVceDbFo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaWHVceDbFo
