+Joe Armstrong passed away a couple months ago. This
+was a sad day, completely unexpected to me, and he
+will be sorely missed.

+https://ferd.ca/goodbye-joe.html[eulogies] were written.
+
+My most striking memory of Joe was during dinner at
+his place after a conference in Stockholm many years
+ago. Joe was describing his rubber duck debugging
+method and introduced us to his famous rubber duck.
+
+"When you can't figure it out, ask the duck!"
+
+I then had the greatest idea. What if I could get
+a rubber duck built in Joe's likeness? Surely there
+is no greater mind than the combination of Joe and
+his rubber duck.
+
+As great an idea that was, I had to settle for the
+next best thing. I suppose custom rubber ducks are
+not in high demand.

+
+I will honor your memory by continuing to work on
+and with Erlang, and I thank you in advance for the
+help you'll send my way during those difficult
+rubber duck debugging sessions.
+
+Goodbye Joe.
