death
Mikeal Rogers died yesterday.
We rarely saw eye-to-eye, but that made working together all the more interesting. Mikeal was one of the first people to make me feel special about my weird database CouchDB and when he left, he went on to leave an outsized imprint on the Node.js ecosystem.
He was always curious about the world and the forces that shaped it and could not contain his excitement when telling you all about it.
My thoughts are with his family.
