I worked adjacent to Bob Lee back in 2006 as an intern on AdWords Frontend at Google. I didn't know him well personally, but I've spent my career using him as my mental model of what a best-in-class engineer looks like: exceptionally talented, but also kind and generous to even the most junior members of his team.
RIP #CrazyBob
😢
> Bob Lee, 43, died after being found stabbed on the 400 block of Main Street in SoMa. Lee was chief product officer of MobileCoin, the former chief technology officer of Square, and the founder of Cash App.
(to me, he was mainly the creator of Guice and instigator of javax.inject, I learned today he was also behind Java lambdas)

I'm shocked to hear that Bob Lee was killed in San Francisco.
In the early days of #Android development it was hard to not come across some Android-related work by Bob on the Internet. He was a famous person in the Android scene.
