Unrelated, but it never occurred to me that cockroachdb and gimp were made by the same persons ! Kudos ! (If I'm not mistaken)

Something that came as a surprise to me was the fact that QEMU and FFMpeg are made by the same guy as well.

Kind of depressing; either one of those projects has that person set for life in the job market, and that jerk has both! How am I supposed to compete with that?

EDIT: Just a note, I say this with all the love in the world, and certainly wish no ill-will towards Fabrice. I hope my dumb joke above didn't come off as hostile...I think it's pretty cool that one person was able to build two apps that I use daily.
