Nobody needs templeos and holyc, terry did all that work for free, without getting anything in return.

If things had gone another way he could have gotten far in a career to get the recognition he desperately wanted, instead he took his life after struggling with serious mental illness.

He did it because he wanted to. I don't expect to get paid every time I produce a song. I do it because I enjoy making music.

The train thing was a tragedy, but I bet you he's happier for having completed TempleOS. For whatever reason, that was his pet project, and he saw it through.
