Comment on Pieter Hintjens (zeromq) diagnosed with incurable cancer

Comments

Just found out today, after a week of tests and six weeks of feeling gradually worse. I'll try to answer your questions. I'm on my phone.

I never used zeromq but you were a cool guy last year at Pygrunn + at the bar after the event!

Groningen is a fun place and Pygrunn a unique and good event. I loved being part of it.

Thank you, Pieter. You have made my job much easier and enjoyable.

I am sorry for the news...

Take a look at his Protocol for Dying

Specifically, the fourth bullet point under "Talking to a Dying Person" is

"There's this experimental cure people are talking about," Which gets the ban hammer from me, and happily I only got a few of those. Even if there was a miracle cure, the cost and stress (to others) of seeking it is such a selfish and disproportionate act. With, as we know, lottery-style chances of success. We live, we die.
