thanks — nobody goes the way alone

Nobody goes the way alone.

I've had some genuinely hard times in my life — I would not be here, talking my crazy thoughts, without a lot of help and support. So I want to say thanks.

  • My parents and family — and trust me, I often gave them a hard time. :)
  • My teachers (at least some of them) — especially Hr. Kühne (rip) Math and Hr. Cerajewski Math.
  • Kristin — for being a great Mom, and a lot of support.
  • Simon — for being a great friend, colleague and brainstorming buddy.
  • Raffi — for a lot.
  • Mercy — thanks for pushing me hard in the early AI days.
  • So many other friends who are just awesome — Caroline, Björn, Gody, Phil, ... and even Volker. ;)
  • My best-ever coding teacher, Ryan Bates (@rbates) — thanks for making Railscasts for so long! I still use a tweaked version of letter_opener and cancancan. Dead simple, does the job great.
  • So many great coders who share their tools and skills — @dhh, @paul_irish, @chriscoyier, @addyosmani, @wycats, @josevalim, and so, so many more. Naming them all would fill its own page.
  • Anthropic & @bcherny — Claude Code is mindblowing good. It had a few hiccups (and the Fable situation), but you always reacted, with limit-resets — thanks a lot. Special thanks for two limit-resets after a /feedback. You're awesome.
  • OpenAI — my first real touch-point with all of this was your services. I'm pretty sure ChatGPT 3.5 was the first model that genuinely helped me. Great job.
