Hey WORLDofPEACE,
you were immensely useful while also being immensely nice.
When giving examples of great open-source contributors that make projects pleasant, I regularly give you as example.

I experience things intuitively and emotionally, so I don’t really have the means to describe things in any other way. I don’t think in words, just feelings. In the end I don’t think it really matters. We write words to record feelings, and read them to feel the one’s the writer was feeling. It’s enough for me to know that, by what someone has read from me, they got a sliver of that experience of being me, and hopefully understanding. Alas, language is linear, and has a defined start and end. It has limits and I hope everyone understands this.

I really worked hard to be that person for NixOS. I would think to myself, I wouldn’t let anyone have me if there wasn’t a way that someone remembered this place as soft and comforted. I hope everyone here can remember to… not always be serious or uptight to a mistake. And to remember that everything has an element of play to it.

I am a Nix newbie, but I remember you from Nixcon 2020! I took mental note of how well you MC’d there, not just in keeping things going smoothly but also in the kindness and humanity you showed, to me it was a reminder not to take things so seriously, like you say. Thank you for sharing your voice with the community, it is all the better for it!

I’ve lurked around the community for a relatively short time, but been in technology all my life. The tech world is sometimes harsh. Computers think in binary. Unfeelingly they follow unbendable laws of nature. To them things are either right or wrong. People who work with them slight into that mindset all too easily. It is understandable, because those people, us, we need to model what computers do in our minds. It’s necessary for what we do. It is our work, and how could it not become our default? We do for much of our waking time.
To me personally, your greatest contribution was making me aware of that. Was teaching me that our field of work can be gentle and playful and kind, yet still exceptionally professional, meaningful and capable, because you were all those things. Thank you @worldofpeace. You are a singular human and I’m glad I got to see you in my corner of life.
