Aaron Swartz committed suicide yesterday, Jan 11. He was 26. I got woken up with the news about an hour ago. Aaron accomplished some incredible things in his life. He was one of the early builders of Reddit... got bought by Wired/Conde Nast, engineered his own dismissal and got cashed out, and then became a full-time, uncompromising, reckless and delightful sh*t-disturber. |
