I am very late to the party when it comes to the work of _whytheluckystiff (or _why), but I love an internet super-hero, as well as an internet mystery. So i was alerted to this guy’s existence merely a week ago, read his book, followed him on twitter, and was looking forward to pithy humorous tweets for years to come. And then he disappeared. All the details I know are these: he wrote a hilarious book about computer programming (not easy to do), most of his work was about making programming languages accessible to human beings (especially kids), and he was a pretty all around creative guy it would seem. The link below is to a song about his book “Why’s Poignant Guide to Ruby”, and reminds me of they might be Giants or early Modest Mouse.
