Congratulations Rich! Your talks are a wellspring of inspiration, and I consider you a software “hero” (the good guys vs the locking concurrency monster). I’ve been enjoying the fruits of your labors for more than a decade, and I have since introduced my daughter (a budding computer science student) to “simple made easy” and a bunch of your other talks. Thanks for everything you’ve contributed to the software world. It’s a happier place to be as a result of your efforts. Enjoy your retirement!
