I remember the idea being that he wasn't a real person or a group of people. Fun times. Hope you're doing well TJ.

I naturally picked up to use Koa (Express successor), Pug (then Jade) and Stylus (feels more productive than SCSS) to boost productivity only to later find they originated from a same person TJ. Excellent mind.And those are just part of his commitments.

I was wondering about this too a couple of months back. Couldn't find any answer but seeing Apex.sh go away was sad.Tj's choice of minimalistic design is still a huge inspiration for me, I still enjoy it to this day!

Oh TJ was such an inspiration for me personally. All the rumors that it's a company actually made it even more fun. And then out of sight out of mind.
