So yeah, if you don't know him, or haven't worked with him, or haven't tasted any of his fine beverages you should make a point to meet this guy. If you can...
I'm fortunate I got to work with Mr. Thatcher as he is an A+ Developer (That's an A+ without a bell curve either, if that was the case he'd have like a 180% and I don't know what that letter would be - maybe AAA+ or something)
Anyway, he's gettin famous so read up about the fella.
