It seems near killed himself. Man, that's beyond awful.

Yes, the developer known as BYUU or NEAR was cyberbullied to death by sickos who think it's fun to cause as many suicides as possible. On to the next victim.

This reminds me of the time we moved our coders from Agile to PMBOK just before Christmas. It had a similar effect on them.

I saw them. Very slick and well rehearsed. Thankfully there is a ton of high quality footage of them. Very few Texas musicians from that era still going, I’m glad I got to see Roky Erickson and Billy Joe Shaver. I’m not sure Willie’s done a concert since I saw him at the rodeo.

It is amazing how much sound they could get out of just three musicians.

I saw ZZ Top 18 or 19 times over the years. Definitely a tight group, impressed he could get such a killer tone with those light guitar strings and a peso!
