+1 - personally I really like how SQLAlchemy doesn’t abstract away the database so much where all modeling and power is lost. He and the contributors have done an excellent job.

I've always been impressed by zzzeek's near-omnipresent participation. Years ago, I had a question about SQLAlchemy that he'd answered on the mailing list which amazed me given the relative rarity of developer interaction. Yet here we are almost a decade later and he's still answering questions directly, but on many more platforms. I'm actually not convinced he ever sleeps.

I wish more people aspired to be like him, because you know there's no more authoritative answer when you run into a Stack Exchange post and he's offering up his assistance.
