Steve was directly or indirectly responsible for a lot of people's lives and livelihoods here. Every mobile developer, everyone running Rails or Django on a Macbook, everyone interested in the aesthetics of product design...that's probably 90% of HN that's been shaped for the better by his life. It's appropriate that we give him a few hours on a homepage as a tribute. We're a virtual community so we can't do a 21-gun salute, but we sure can do a 30-post homepage.
