I remember the idea being that he wasn't a real person or a group of people. Fun times. Hope you're doing well TJ.

I never believed that rumor. Coders can go through hyper productive phases where they are making something that never existed before -- such as server side routers in JavaScript.

We forget that there was a time when JavaScript was just for manipulating the DOM.

Hope he's well and getting a good night's rest tonight. I know I should, but here I am typing into hacker news.

TJ was mostly porting modules from ruby. When you have a feature set and an architecture that’s proven you can go very fast on a project. Mocha is substantially rspec.
