Grant warrants a black bar.
- danpalmer 6y agoAgreed. He's inspired many "hackers" over the last 15+ years. Many are still early in their careers, but Grant's inspiration shouldn't be underestimated.
- kleer001 6y ago"When someone important to the community dies, a thin black bar is added to the top of HN as a mark of respect" I agree. That follows. He may not have been a founding member of a computer based community, software, or protocol, but he certainly inspired many of us.
- danpalmer 6y agoMy guess is that the age demographic of the moderators may be more tuned to earlier CS community contributors. I often recognise the names from references in university lectures, but don't have much of a connection to them. Grant on the other hand is someone who I grew up with on my TV, inspiring me to make things.
