Mozilla developers honored the memory of one of their colleagues, who made a huge contribution to the development of DevTools tools.
Romanian programmer Mihai ucan fixed 1919 bugs in Firefox. In mid-2010, when he began work, the console code was a complete mess that no one wanted to touch at all, recalls Joe Walker, one of the coordinators of the DevTools project in Mozilla. There were bugs that everyone looked at and thought: it would take a couple of weeks to correct everything correctly. It is better to take something else. Such bugs left to someone else.
And then Mihai took up the matter.
Most of the Devtools group works remotely, so for a long time people knew Mihai only by his nickname, and later - by his voice. His voice was very strange, as if he were speaking in a choked way, with effort. I always had to listen to him carefully to understand what was said.

Mihai continued to remake the console at a crazy pace. The Devtools project manager at the time said: “There is only one problem with it: loading it with a sufficient number of bugs — I’m doing this almost all of my working time.”
When the video chat appeared, everyone noticed Mihai’s hands and a strange way he typed on the keyboard, but everyone was too shy to ask ...
More recently, in 2015, before planning a joint meeting in London, when they were discussing who could come and who did not, the Romanian programmer admitted that he had epidermolysis bullosa (Epidermolysis Bullosa). This is a congenital, terrible and deadly skin disease that makes life-threatening almost every object around. The skin is constantly damaged, blistering, and then scarring. That is why Mihai touched the keyboard so carefully.
With epidermolysis bullosa, the risk of skin cancer is very high, after all, it happened with Mihai. Despite this, he lived much longer than the doctors had predicted: for more than three months instead of three weeks at the last stage and several years when he was predicted only a few months.
For most people suffering from this disease, every day is a struggle for survival, but this person also managed to work hard, making an invaluable contribution to the creation of DevTools. The millions of developers who use the DevTools tools in the Mozilla browser owe much of it to him.
