Really sad to hear about the passing of @hughes_meister I'll always remember him as someone who inspired me professionally. One of those people you come across in your career that makes you infinitely better by setting a high bar https://t.co/7unttS7IZ3

I decided to submit a talk about GitHub code search to the final Strange Loop. It was close to the deadline, but I thought I had the nucleus of an idea that was worth submitting. I wrote an outline,...
