lcamtuf (don't know their real name) is an absolute whiz, the write-ups on their website and tools they've built are great.

also, their website is an example of a great, no-BS web design, for the reason that it's one level deep. there's no "articles", "tools", "contact" links adding a further level of indirection and hiding what's on those pages. all content titles and descriptions are in the same area and are all visible at once when the page loads - at a glance, you can see everything their site has to offer, and get an overall idea of their work almost instantly. side note - i don't think we talk enough about how important visual locality is for information design.
