Well, fuck. He was really important to a young nerd in the late 90s and 2000s.

This is a sobering moment.

A big part of it for me is that in my head he's this 18-year-old idiot who's stolen my credit card information from me personally, even though he was 20 years older than me and that never happened. It's who he was in the hacker legendarium, you know?

This guy was an absolute legend! Sad to see him go :(

Maybe when he started. Towards the end he was riding on his name alone and not really contributing much.
