This is really sad news and I will donate to his Trust fund but I can't help but feel strange knowing that I am donating to a fellow programmer. I see posts like these on Facebook and other collaboration sites and I rarely even bother reading the articles.
I wish we could take care of all the sick and elderly equally but such is life. Instead of blaming it on the government, the system, society or anyone else, I suggest we donate to the cause to help this man live as well as he can, while he still can.
Nobody deserves to be robbed of their life like this.

- ericssmith 14y agoI'm a programmer and have two young children. I can't help but be moved to donate as it is relatively easy for me to see myself in his shoes.
- unreal37 14y agoWhat about people who are sick like this but are not famous programmers? Who will donate to them? Government exists, in part, to share the costs of society among all its citizens. Roads, transit, military, and in most countries of the world, healthcare.
