As a matter of perspective, it's been fun for me to watch a star/folk hero like jwz rise out of nowhere, a young, wild, productive dude. Now it's interesting to see a generation of developers to whom he's less known and who don't quite understand why he would make his webpage look like a terminal.
Just like it was interesting to suddenly see people fetishize super mario brothers about 10 years ago, e.g. Cory Doctorow. But now it seems SMB isn't the childhood reference, it's Pokemon.

The turning of the wheel I guess.
