I’m curious regarding your choice of name. What in your company or product brought you to adopt that name, or whether you just liked it (So do I!).

I'll quote my lobste.rs reply to this question:

> I think his jolly chaotic good energy, along with how he's uncorruptible and sort of outside the normal world, fits a fuzzer in a spiritual sense. But it might all just be a good excuse to use one of my favorite names from my favorite book.

It's also my favorite part of the book, and definitely not something I'd skip. I know some people would object, but I think of it as an homage rather than stealing.

10 years ago the initials DHH would be instantly recognizable to any HNer. I remember joining when the ROR-Django wars were raging. Times have changed.

Well, in fairness, he'd be instantly recognizable to the Ruby community and that hasn't changed. Although hardly obscure, he wasn't nearly as well-known outside of that crowd, and even ten years ago, HN represented a much wider swath of people than that.

Okay, a particular person got an offer that amortized out comes to a billion over four years. How is this radically different from all the other egregious buyouts (such as whatsapp with 55 employees bought for 19 billion, when the dollar was worth a lot more)?
