Oh man, this hit me in the feels. The actual text is good so far, but those words stayed with me.

It's great that so many of his thoughts live on. Where as there are lots of books that live on after people these books go through lots of editing and you're never sure how much of the direct thought of the author is still there.

But these posts are direct from Aaron's thoughts, so it's much more personal reading them.

Same. It’s always bittersweet re-reading his essays.
