My Take
Justin Frankel is one of those rare engineers I genuinely revere. He built Winamp and then invented the Gnutella peer-to-peer network while barely out of his teens, which is staggering. What impresses me most is that he did not coast on that fame. He founded Cockos and created REAPER, a digital audio workstation beloved by serious producers for its honesty and depth. I read him as a builder driven by craft rather than money, someone who simply wanted to make excellent tools. People who quietly reshape how the world listens to and makes music deserve far more recognition than he gets.
