Always good to see Jon Skeet get some love. I'd love to know in terms of quantity just how many people he's helped over the last decade or so.

He has used this comic as his profile pic on Twitter and StackOverflow for quite a while.

Literally every time I've ever posted a question on SO that's related to .NET, Skeet comes to my rescue.

Skeet did not write or create c#

if we count the number of people who have used products with code helped by him; we're probably around 50% of all humanity by now. at least...
