This doesn't seem like THE _why, and according to wikipedia, it isn't.

On 5 January 2013, _why's site[7] was found to be back online,[8] though as of October 2013 it was only serving a blank page.[7] In March 2014, the site re-launched as the personal blog of an anonymous individual from Australia with no apparent connection to _why. Apparently not being aware of the site's previous owner, the new owner notes on his contact page that he has received a lot of mail asking if he is "some kind of famous programmer called #why from Pittsburg or something"
