He was well-known online for the request module — a name every developer seemed to know.
I first met him in person at playnode.io 2012 in Korea.
Despite the language barrier, he patiently listened to my broken English and took the time to answer with kindness and sincerity. That was my first impression of him — and it stayed with me.
He taught not just through code, but through the way he treated others.
That trip is the origin of many of my happiest memories. It was amazing to meet you all, and to share that adventure with him. The playnode.io team and the Korean JavaScript community treated us with such incredible warmth and kindness, we talked often over the years about what a wonderful experience that was.
