This is senseless and a huge loss.

Bob was a great guy.

I met him briefly when he worked at Google. He was just starting to work on Guice and I was skeptical of dependency injection and we talked about it for an hour.

I went home and did a heads down and Guice was a major impact on my coding for the next ten years.

I bumped into "Crazy Bob"a few more times and just an insanely nice guy.

He was also murdered at Main and Folsom right in downtown SOMA in SF. It was 2 blocks from my former apartment.

SF is just almost not worth it at this point.



Please don't cross into the flamewar stuff in this thread.


Ive used Guice plenty back in Amazon days, honestly all the DI injection seems like a patch on top of fundamental problems with heavy OOP languages.
