TLDR; this guy built a whole operating system by himself because of schizophrenia which included his own flight simulator, a chess game, a bible, music creator, among many other things (normally requires a 100s or a whole team of experts), became homeless, was struck by a train (suicide?)

Terrence Andrew Davis (December 15, 1969 – August 11, 2018) was an American electrical engineer and computer programmer best known for creating and designing TempleOS, an operating system in the public domain, by himself. Its development was an extremely complex, time-consuming, and unusual undertaking for one person.

During his final years, Davis amassed an online following and regularly posted video blogs to social media. Although he remained lucid when discussing computer-related subjects, his communication skills were significantly affected by his schizophrenia. He was controversial for his regular use of slurs, which he explained was his way of combating factors of psychological warfare. After 2017, he struggled with periods of homelessness and incarceration. In 2018, he was struck by a train and died at the age of 48.

On the evening of August 11, 2018, while walking alongside railroad tracks in The Dalles, Davis was struck and killed by a Union Pacific train. Investigators could not determine whether his death was suicide or accidental, although the train engineer believed his death to be a suicide. The police report stated that Davis was walking with his back toward the train and that he turned around before the moment of impact.

Terry Davis has been in inspiration to me as a programmer for a long time. I hope someday I will have at least a fraction of the skill and dedication he had, schizophrenia induced or not! hehe
