DanielLockyer reflects on nearly 12 years working with Tommy, saying he learned Linux, sysadmin and performance optimization from him and marveling that a single server could have such world impact.
He credits the "batshit insane ideas" of @levelsio (Pieter Levels) and thanks Tommy for his service — an insider anecdote around the ops side of Levels' one-person AI projects.
