I've been using his libraries since I started out with node, and there isn't a single project that I'm working on today that doesn't have at least 2 or 3 of his libraries as dependencies.
He has contributed a lot to the nodejs ecosystem (around 600 packages! [1]), and it saddens me to see him go. The Go guys should be very excited to have him on board!

- tdumitrescu 12y agoYeah, it's absolutely crazy how much that dude put out there over the last years, totally impossible to do JS web dev work without using at least a few of his libraries like Express, Jade, Mocha, Co. and then one day it's like "alright done with that." If I could be even 1/2 that productive...

- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoI think TJ works at segment.io, saw it on their team page when I was trying out the app.
- notduncansmith 12y agoLink? I couldn't find their team page from their website (which, assuming they still have one, is really disappointing).
