This made me so weirdly sad. I remember this guy; he was well known for being technically skilled but a huge pain in the ass for everyone to work with, and it's weird to see how resigned he is now to his prison life.

He belongs in prison obviously, but it's so, so strange hearing how his time being able to be a free man and just work on his technical projects that he's passionate about, is such a faraway memory for him now.

May we all learn from his mistakes and heed his call for better empathetic communication in our daily interactions.
