Until 2 days ago, I didn't know who Aaron Swartz was. Today, I can't stop thinking about him. At 14, he helped create RSS. At 19, he helped build Reddit. But what truly sets his story apart isn't his coding brilliance - it's his unwavering belief that knowledge should be free and accessible to everyone. Aaron fought tirelessly for internet freedom and open access to academic research. He believed that locking scientific papers behind paywalls was like locking away solutions to humanity's problems. He didn't just talk about it - he acted on his convictions. His story ended tragically at 26. But his legacy lives on in every tweet about open science, every freely shared research paper, and every person who believes the internet should be a force for public good. "Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves." He wanted to make the world a better place. In an age where AI and data are reshaping our world, Aaron's vision of a free and open internet feels more relevant than ever. Sometimes the most important voices are the ones we discover too late.
