Ben Alman is Awesome. Here’s why:

He knows everything

Here’s a list of some of his jQuery projects:

He helps everyone

Go on the IRC #jquery chat room. Type “ben_alman: you there?”. He’s there, friendly, and wants to help you.

He sees the future

Ben’s experience has pushed him to the edges of what jQuery can do; especially with special events. He’s constantly finding bugs, and proposing solutions. He’s been part of a lot of the best micro changes. Just today, he created this ticket to help make creating delegatable special events easier.

He is perfect

Ben Alman is a perfectionist. He refuses to even look at my code unless it is well formated. Just talk to him about tabs v spaces. His code is always well written, quality, and documented.
