My first encounter with Pieter work was 2011, I read the zeromq guide, for the first time, I finished the book that night without going to sleep. I remember I thought that it change everything I knew about distributed systems, it was the best paper I read about software, and still is.
Later Pieter become my mentor, I remember reading code that he wrote as part of CZMQ and it was so simple, I thought to myself that I want to learn to write code as simple as Pieter can do. He always challenged me, his way of thinking was different, always surprising. I visited Pieter exactly 4 month ago, during the last ZeroMQ hackathon, he of course challenged me then as well. I will miss him very much, I already miss him, so sad, we lost a great leader today and a good friend. Rest in peace Pieter. - Doron _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
