       | Wow, very nice surprise to find this on the HN frontpage, posted

       | 
       | Thanks chmaynard - and sharkdp!

       | So many unsung heros in the open-source space, while it's so easy

       | 
       | On this note, I've actually used hyperfine a while back for some
       | quick benchmarking - thanks to David and other contributors for
       | bringing it to live and continuously maintaining it!

       | I couln't agree more. I have had the pleasure to work alongside
       | David for the past couple of years. His passion for sharing
       | knowledge, expertise and code has not only benefited our team,
       | but is a great inspiration to everyone around him! What's visible
       | in open source is only the tip of the iceberg ;)

       | Thanks, sharkdp, as well as burntsushi. First thing I do on any
       | machine I work with is to install all their tools.
       | 
       | They are reliable, they have excellent defaults and have made me
       | more productive.
       | 
       | I also recommend them on a regular basis.

         | Always neat to discover that multiple high-quality tools you
         | discovered separately are all written by the same person. I use
         | both bat and hyperfine regularly and had no idea. Now, knowing
         | to look up the author, I've learned about insect and hexyl too!
         | 
         | Fabrice Bellard, klauspost, and bradfitz are three prior
         | examples of this that spring to mind. I'm sure there are plenty
         | more I haven't noticed yet.

         | Sincerely, thanks to the people who make contributions like
         | this.
