Also a regular in the Node irc room (JimBastard). I just connected the dots. He won a ticket to JSConf by winning the pre-conference talk in a bar about JavaScript competition.
He seemed ok in person, and I know he hacks a lot of his own code, but I'm surprised what a dick he seems to be being. He definitely wasn't this much of a jerk face to face. Oh the Internet, this is why we can't have nice things.

Also a HN member, though apparently only to promote his projects:

Which at least I find perfectly acceptable (as long as the projects are Hacker News worthy).
