I like the big Thoreau energy happening in this article. That said, vim was the vision of one (even that’s debatable) with the support of many and it’s far better than apple writer. The idea that the best software is the product of one or two is often touted and in my experience, never the case.

This guy seems a whole lot more devoted to the whole solitude and self-sufficiency thing than Thoreau. He only did it for a couple years, right? Lutus seems to have made a life of it, and found a sort of steady-state way to sustain himself while doing so.
