Some breeds of geek are just like that - our lead developer is a gangly,
soft-spoken motor-mouth of a guy, doesn't need any faux machismo to be
the kind of person who's almost killed himself in cliff-scaling
incidents multiple times, had more than one direct run-in with a bear,
and regularly treks up into the mountains in one busted-ass Jeep or
another for off-roading expeditions.

We occasionally have to remind him that he's not allowed to die before
the next ship date.
