Built TempleOS (2003–2013) and HolyC — an entire operating system, compiler, editor, and graphics stack written by one person over a decade — while publicly struggling with schizophrenia.\n\nHis work is the field's most singular artifact: technically astonishing, tragically entangled with his illness, and the reason 'small is powerful' is a genuine question.
