On: Automated integer hash function discovery

[skissane]

I don't know this guy personally but I like his code.

I particularly like his JSON library [0], option parsing libraries [1], branchless UTF-8 decoder [2], lock-free stack [3], and trie library [4].

I also like his taste in licensing (all of the above is released under The Unlicense)

Skeeto is a legend. Up there with Febrice Bellard in my book. I've followed him on GH for years and he just drops bangers of weird niche little tools that are always interesting.

Branchless UTF-8 is a famous one, for example.

He's also the author of elfeed [0] "An Emacs web feeds client". I've found his minimalist implementation very inspiring.
