Daniel PerezI got into Android in college because I thought it was going to be easy and almost quit because it was so hard. Then I started discovering how open source libraries like the ones from Square were being created to address the pain and it started to become easier. At this point I'm 100% certain I've stuck with Android past graduation and into a career because our community is so collaborative and I'd hate to miss out on the genius that's fun to observe and use through open source libraries.
Today I learned just how much Bob Lee had to do with driving Squares culture to do so much open source work. I'm pretty certain I do something I've grown to love because of him.
My condolences to everyone who knew him. I never knew him but knew about him through podcasts and how other people talked about him publicly. He sounds like someone I would have loved to be friends with.
