my deepest condolences 🤍
This is tragic. Thoughts are with you, and his family and friends. Absolutely tragic.
North America is now Third world shit. Sad that a good human had to end like this. I could foresee the future of the US 5 years ago and moved out into Africa. I am enjoying the peace of self sustainable living with my Bitcoin and crypto. Get out or fight back.
I am so sorry Jack. Bob was an amazing guy 🙏🙏🙏
I'm sorry to hear this, Jack. While reading the eulogies at @crazybob, I came across stories about his impressive tech legacy and how he was a single dad to amazing girls. He was truly an incredible man, and my thoughts are with his family and everyone at Sq 🤍
❤️🩹

So sorry, Jack.
Sorry, Jack. I didn’t know him personally, only by reputation. But I use and work with software he wrote almost everyday. Hope his family, friends, and you find solace.
I'm sorry for your loss 😔🌹♥️
Holy shit. I didn't know Bob so well, but followed in his footsteps, worked with several of his former team mates,, and met him during the development of Dagger. This is terrible. Everyone I know, who knew him, said he was just a delightful human.
Without Bob, there probably would never have been a Dagger project, and without Bob, Cash app, which is so far the best place I've worked, may never have existed. I owe that man a lot in my career, if indirectly. I so sad to see his light sniffed out so cruelly. Condolences #[4]. I know you, Jesse W, and others knew him better.
He was assassinated on the streets of San Francisco at two o'clock in the morning?
Why didn't he bring security personnel with him when he went out at two o'clock in the morning?
At two o'clock in the morning, no one helped him.
😱
Don't you realize that there are many doubts in this assassination case?
His wife found out that her husband didn't come home at two o'clock in the morning. Don't make phone calls, don't care about her husband's safety.
If his wife can't get through on the phone, she can call the police immediately to save his life.
Therefore, it is very important for a man to marry a wife.
This case was committed by the murderer who was most familiar with him. Know his whereabouts well. And it's stalking.
That’s a pretty personal way to kill someone.
😢
Christ
I am completely overcome by sadness by this. I wouldn't be at Block today, if not for Bob. He personally recruited me. He introduced me to @jack. He made me a better engineer. He partied and loved life like no person I knew. My thoughts are with Bob's family right now. I love you crazybob. 😔 #[0]

So sorry 😣 my condolences 💐
Wow… 😰😔
My condolences for you #[2] and #[3]. 🌹
I’m so sorry to hear of this and I hope that you find peace.
So sorry 😞 😢🫂🙏💜
Terrible news 😞 sad for the family and everyone who knew him.
I first met Bob at Google in 2006. Phenomenal guy. I'm stunned by this tragic news. A very big loss.
Stabbed to death. Wtf 👀
Horrific.
So sorry for your loss and to his family and all effected.
Sorry for your loss.
I’m saddened by your loss. It’s imperative that you leave SF - not in a while, not over time, not when the committee picks a new HQ based on local politics and tax incentives. Pack and leave tonight and never look back.
... and you're muted forever.
🫂
My deepest condolences Mike

🥹 oh, that’s really sad news. I’m so sorry to hear this. 💔
There are no words to make sense of this horrific tragedy.

Horrific
Omg that’s horrible
😱 what. horrible 😣
RIP. It's always hard losing someone doing good for the world. Especially under such circumstances...

Damn that’s so … idk what to say. It’s so ridiculous that people are still stabbing others :/ idk what he did that caused it but hoping he rests in peace & hoping his family gets a package with some funds from the square company or wherever else he worked. to pay for his funeral. Funerals are expensive, not sure if he wrote a will, but it would help his family to cover cost of the funeral 😕
🙏 RIP . May his soul finds peace in new life.
Your post is creating a lot of discussion.

Terrible news RIP
Very sad. Will pray for his soul and for those he leaves behind. Scary to think I’ve walked that block so many times and have always considered it a relatively safer area of SoMa. May Justice be Served.
San Francisco, security has always been bad.
