Partly unrelated but i have read strong evidence[1] suggesting that the ExpressJS author (TJ) does not even exist as a real person and is an entirely constructed online identity who is portrayed by different people. Not that it matters too much though, still interesting ;)
I met him once at a Node.JS bar/podcast talk about 2 years ago. He looks just like his Twitter picture. Could still be the figure head of a bunch of people I guess.
