When I started to notice him he was just another poster on a reant board. Now he is all red and titled.

Of course nothing really changed since it was already evident that he stood among the crowd. I usually pay attention to names on the boards because I quickly notice if someone has something interesting to say and it was kind of obvious that this guy has a huge knowledge that could surpass the one Raph has (like the possibility to reference just… everything).

Of course the knowledge alone doesn’t make you a good and precious developer, but good ideas and experience go side by side and probably the latter overshadows the first. Despite this is another flase commonplace.

Anyway, this is just to draw a line: I think this guy will have an important role and I’m sure I’ll hear of himeself more in the upcoming years.

In fact the footer on this very website is particularly appropriate in this case :)

(btw, he got the red “promotion” on F13 *long ago*, but I decided to comment just today, we exchanged a couple of PMs back then discussing fancy projects)
