Hey there, it was great working with you. We haven't spoke much in the last 10 years because life has become busy, but it was great to have worked with you in the early days, getting Slashcode 1.0 and then 2.0 released, trying to find ways to cache before memcached, removing the variable "$shit" from the code-- those were the days. I know it must be incredibly hard to come to a close for something you created. Good luck with whatever you do!

I could use some Yerba Mate. Writing books is exhausting, and I will soon be done. I will be able to sleep. Hooray!

I'm glad to have triggered some discussion here. I just want to improve MySQL, that's all.
