Lmao his github profile just links to his wikipedia page, what an absolute flex. Guess he earned it tho.
Dunno, Mark Adler is a name that needs no introduction or 'flex'. Fun fact about him: with his name (family) he comes on top of the list of authors of virtually any project that he'd have participated and ordered alphabetically.
As someone who shares the same surname, always being at the top of the list was somewhat less desirable during school.
I have no idea how he can produce excellent OSS libraries whilst also having a pretty high position at JPL.
A surprising (to me at least) amount of very good OSS comes out of national labs. Another example is ZFS-on-Linux, now just OpenZFS
