It's crazier that Dennis Richie passed right around the same time as Jobs, and didn't get any of the fanfare, despite having far more meaningful contributions to the field (to say the least), while being a humble, decent, human being.

Even being in tech I only somewhat know about him. Jobs was a larger than life figure that average people knew.

The age gap explains a lot of difference for me. I expected it with Douglas Adams. They should make a big deal about it when someone passes at such a young age. (And 70 is also young)

However, it was still too much. If Jobs' passing got 100x the attention, maybe it should have only been 10x.

Oddly, John McCarthy died within the same few days too, if I recall correctly.
