FYI - having worked with and around many many professional developers for over 35 years, I do not say this lightly ...

Kovid is the single most productive and creative programmer I have ever seen. He accomplishes more in one hour than most programmers do in a week. His work is always understandable and supportable and has very very few bugs when first written. And if any bugs do exist, they are quickly squashed. He seems to be at home with Python, C++, C, javascript, the DOM, website development, sockets, networks, gui, etc etc. There are few if any that have such a wide range of knowledge.

Until I met him I always thought I was a pretty good programmer but ...

I have no idea why he isn't running a huge software development house somewhere and getting paid large numbers of stock options!

I also have no idea how he gets his wife to allow him to put in the amount of work he does! My wife forces me to leave things alone and take a walk more and more often.

So ... please take a bow Kovid, you definitely deserve many!
