I miss Joe, he was a super nice guy who always responded back to my dumb emails when I was first starting as an engineer asking for help with concurrent programming in elaborate detail. He didn't have to do that, but he did, and he was awesome for it.
Even in this post, he was able to be polite and still critical of Elixir, pointing out parts that annoyed him, but still ended it with positive praise.
I can’t second this enough. I never knew him personally but hung out around him at a few Erlang conferences and he was always incredibly kind and giving. He never knew it but he had a huge impact on me as an engineer.
