I'd like to thank the outpouring of support for this great programmer and person. Though I did not know her myself, I feel strongly about this topic and am glad it has attracted readers.

Whenever you act as a consumer -- use a piece of software, watch a video or read an article or just a comment -- and it brightens your day or informs your life, please think about leaving even the smallest reply. These matter more than you may ever realize.

One moment of your writing will impact uncounted hours of a person's future efforts. One minute of your time will brighten years for another. If all we have is kindness, maybe that's the one thing that another might need.

If something matters to you, then you matter to it.
