I was curious so I googled him and saw he created Coffeescript, backbone.js and underscore.js. Is there part of his background I'm missing that makes this funny. Seriously I don't get it and it's bugging me :)


The backbone.js stuff was during NYT work if I recall.


That's not quite correct. Both Backbone.js and Underscore.js were extracted from DocumentCloud — a nonprofit organization.

But I am currently a Graphics Editor at the NYT...


Not for much longer, I bet...


Ha ha... We'll find out soon, won't we.


Ah ok, that is pretty funny.
