I’m delighted to see @codinghorror step up to be a thing that’s sorely needed in tech right now: a leader. He actually gives half of his current net worth (it’s not just a pledge — he already cut the checks) to 8 organizations that are helping the most vulnerable. https://blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-america/ It’s an powerful move, right when it matters most. Over the years, I’ve called Jeff a friend, a huge pain the in ass, a sharp technical mind, and now it’s great to call him an inspiration.

@anildash @codinghorror a significant trait in his donation unmatched by many far richer than Jeff: he gave others that money, not to a trust he controls.

@anildash Wow, what a guy. And here I thought most people with tons of money didn't really give a damn. I've always hoped I could get enough money to do exactly what he's doing now.
