I was today years old when I realized @codinghorror is Jeff Atwood

For some reason, I just assumed @codinghorror was always just someone who borrowed the icon. Congratulations on the big day and the acquisition! Time to repurchase your entire collection back!

Congrats @codinghorror !

And I’m sure that if Jeff wanted his collection back, Doc would give it back to him, don’t think any financial transaction would be needed

[codinghorror]

Thanks! But the collection is in very good hands now, I think it’s exactly where it deserves to be!

Hi Jeff! Haven’t talked to you in a long time. Hope all is well and congrats on the newest business development!

TA office hours for all of my CS courses were always packed with students who were just as lost as I was and you could never get any help. Thankfully Stack Overflow was always there. I’m not sure I would have graduated without online help.

Thank you @Codinghorror.

well, i was not aware of jeff atwood’s contributions to the tech community, just a basic understanding of his involvement in discourse. props @codinghorror for all you’ve accomplished and what
you still do for us on this board.

@codinghorror, I’m still marveling at your effort with the Ti Vader. Its a recent acquisition of mine and its just so good. I love the video of you and @DocPop where he is trying to teach you “Washing Machine”. I cant seem to find it at the moment.

Congratulations on the business front.

Such a fun episode!

Great episode but I’m still scared to try the trick! Every time the Ti hit the ground I cringed!

Hey @codinghorror ! I’ve got a little startup called D.E.A.T.H. that will soon be able to provide an AI-controlled robot army for hire to select entities. PM me if you want in as a platinum level investor. Thanks!

[cowmamba]

Wow man that’s crazy. I can’t imagine what that must feel like haha. I’ve known who jeff / codinghorror is for quite some time and have used stack overflow quite a bit as well and of course discourse too. It’s just crazy to see an acquisition like that and being familiar with some of the folks involved. Super awesome!
