HN comment orderWez is a really nice guy to work with too; had the pleasure of working with him briefly a bit over a decade ago (we were at sort of sister companies on a project that involved both). Sadly he was impacted by the layoffs at Meta recently, so if you're looking for an incredibly productive and sharp as hell engineer, it might be worth looking him up.
