Very sad. I had met Mikeal a few times in the nearly Node community hackathons and meetups. He had been in my orbit of Node.js and Oakland communities for decades but we were never close. Always felt like ships in the night. I had been following his cancer diaries hoping for the best. There truly was a magic to that early Node.js hacker house days and Mikeal was a huge driving force for that.
