Hey Matt!

I've interacted with you on twitter before, but I wanted to thank you again for your work, it has impacted me greatly.

One of the first mathematics papers I ever read was your paper on Gödel hashes. Coming from a patchwork self-taught software background it opened my eyes to just how much more there was to CS than "writing code". So, so much more. I still have a copy in my desk! I had dropped out of the U of U's CS program, and this was the first thing that really made me question my decision.

I've also admired your work in with Bertrand and I'm hopeful at the legacy it will leave, and at the future of precision medicine.

Thanks!

Caleb



Thank you for the kind words -- and also for reminding me about the Godel hashing work!! That was one of the last things I did before the hard pivot into academic medicine.
