Bob was a nice guy. We had an overlapping tenure at Google in the 2000s. He was one of the original authors of the Guice dependency injection framework: https://github.com/google/guice https://github.com/google/guice. When I was earning Java readability at Google, I was fortunate to have had him assigned as a reviewer. Having the review work so smoothly alleviated a lot of the imposter syndrome I felt at the time. I felt like a million bucks afterwards. The compassion and humility he brought to the table made a world of difference.
His murder represents a huge loss; he left a very positive impression on me.
- shadowgovt 4y agoI've never met a dependency injection framework I liked, but I hated Guice least. Credit to the minds who conceived it.
- fnikacevic 4y agoOne of my old teams also liked to mispronounce it as "Gucci" for extra style
- dboreham 4y agoDependency injection as an external framework is an antipattern for me. Ends up creating more problems than it solves.
- BurningFrog 4y agoAh... I wondered where I recognized the `crazybob` name from. Guice was the one Google code that surprised me with how good it was while I was there.
