I wanted to share this episode for anyone who's interested in reflecting on the life and legacy ofAaron Swartz, who passed 10 years ago this week. Swartz is credited with assisting in the development ofRSS,Creative Commons licensing,Markdown, theweb.py framework, andReddit.

I found the episode insightful, emotional, and powerful to hear. Would love to hear your thoughts after listening.

In this episode ofEndless Thread, co-hosts Amory Sivertson and Ben Brock Johnson honor the legacy of internet activist Aaron Swartz with two people familiar with his life and work: documentary filmmakerBrian Knappenberger andCindy Cohn of theElectronic Frontier Foundation.

Swartz died by suicide ten years ago this week, on January 11, 2013, at the age of 26.
