I didn't know him but recognized the name from HN.
- ehPReth 4y agoI saw this tweet just randomly in the AI timeline and brushed it off as him just being busy/done/taking a break from open source ruby work.. maybe moving on to something else or just picking a different hobby. Quite a shock to see this today
- freedomben 4y agoeverybody did. it's horrifying now, but people as smart as Chris that are going to do it, are going to do it. They know that tipping the hand too early will result in forced prevention (something we as a society have messed up about but that's a separate post). He worded it that way on purpose. In my opinion as a kindness so he could say goodbye rather than just disappearing without a sound.
- docdeek 4y agoThe tweet seems to imply this was not an unexpected death on his part. Was he unwell?
- djmips 4y agoA form of a suicide note possibly. I hope I'm not reading it wrong but that's what I took from his post especially in context of his sudden passing.
- bluerooibos 4y agoI saw photos of him presenting at the Ruby conference just a week ago and he looks pretty healthy.
- yla92 4y agoI saw this tweet and I was wondering about the language used there like "permanent rest" but was thinking he was going to delete his Twitter account. Will miss seeing his comments on HN and his contributions. RIP, Chris.
