why's foxes — conf guestbookDec 16

Nearly a year ago, we lost @codefolio. A kindness in the community and a keeper of  _why's flame.

He spent years preserving _why's work, rebuilding #Shoes and reminding us that programming could be joyful.

Now, Noah is gone too.
Even further. 🕯️
But like _why, he's never forgotten.

Rest well, Noah. 🦊💜

What a sad day. It’s Noah Gibbs’ funeral. He made time for me and helped me. I don’t even have the ability to express the sense of loss #ruby #NoahGibbs

Thank you for the link. I did not know this video and didn't know much about Noah Gibbs. A rich, complex, gentle, insightful talk from a wonderful person. I had to pause the video when speaks about what he'll do in 20 years time, heartbreaking. I will return to it later, there is so much wisdom in it: about programming, creativity, life. I did not know the man but I feel his loss. We all must do our best in the present moment, do good work and be kind.
