Glad you brought him up. I learned about him reading his book about solo sailing around the world in a 31 foot boat. Good read even if you aren't interested in sailing. Free ebook here: http://www.arachnoid.com/sailbook/ http://www.arachnoid.com/sailbook/

- pasbesoin 13y agoI've found Lutus to be a valuable participant/contributor to HN. And, both inside and outside of HN, a kind if forthright person advocating for understanding of and quality in the topic at hand. His work is well worth exploring. I'm left wondering why I wrote this... "meta" comment. I guess because some of this insight and excellence seems to benefit from if not require a certain independence of spirit and perhaps a corresponding sense of perspective.
- sailfast 13y agoThank you for this link. As a sailor and coder this seems to be a great fit for me, and I'll be reading it right away. Much obliged.
