I wrote 10-15k rulesets for https-everywhere, starting when he was the maintainer. It was his generous understanding that got me from stupid to addicted, and I enjoyed our personal conversations going forward.
He asked to meet up, but it would have been at least a hundred miles to wherever he was speaking at the time. I regretted not putting the effort in - as well as being curious, kind, and understanding, he had the kind of systematizing mind that "sync"s so easily that he could almost instantly know what you're talking about and have a conversation about anything substantive. I regret losing touch.
I don't know what else to say. Shocked, saddened. I'm sure he'll be remembered for his contributions, more than most of us could ever hope for. Godspeed.
