I’d like to take a brief detour to remember my friend Alex King. We worked on many projects together. You may not know him, but as WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg explains: “Code that Alex wrote still runs billions of times a day across millions of websites, and long after that code evolves or gets refactored the ideas and philosophy he embedded in WordPress will continue to be part of who we are … Every time you see the share icon on the web or in Android you should think of him.”

+ I’ve been thinking of Alex all the time these days. Here’s my own brief remembrance of Alex.
