That would not happen if Ticketmaster still had the best programmer that ever lived.

A prolific poster on Hacker News before his death. You'll need showdead enabled to see most of his comments.

Oh, I didn’t know he worked there!

I recently managed to get Temple OS to run in a VM for the first time. It’s quite something!

I was aware of the Terry Davis/Temple OS story.

I didn't know he worked at Ticketmaster. Thanks.

Do you really think it's nice to mock a person with schizophrenia?

I think you're the one implicitly claiming that Terry wasn't among the greatest.

I believe he is, and I took OP's comment charitably.

Terry was an incredible programmer. I don't think anyone would argue against that.

I saw it as mocking Ticketmaster.

I'd never make fun of someone hallucinating. But the ineffective, discriminatory psychiatrists would.
