I audibly chuckled at this comment. RIP Terry.

I don't know the reference

A prolific poster on Hacker News before his death. You'll need showdead enabled to see most of his comments.

Oh, I didn’t know he worked there!

I recently managed to get Temple OS to run in a VM for the first time. It’s quite something!

Should be unshadowed for posterity

I was aware of the Terry Davis/Temple OS story.

I didn't know he worked at Ticketmaster. Thanks.

I’m shocked to learn Terry Davis is dead. RIP

templeos creator used to work there. had mental health issues, we saw the decline via social media. 4chan made him a meme. he became homeless and died

Do you really think it's nice to mock a person with schizophrenia?

I think you're the one implicitly claiming that Terry wasn't among the greatest.

I believe he is, and I took OP's comment charitably.

Terry was an incredible programmer. I don't think anyone would argue against that.

I'd never make fun of someone hallucinating. But the ineffective, discriminatory psychiatrists would.

I saw it as mocking Ticketmaster.
