fuseki.net/home/List-of-Patreon-Subs-with-Justification.html describes him well:

Outsider, formerly homeless, extreme person interested in CS and culture. Self-publishes a website with thousands of tutorial / opinion pages. Possibly similar to Sam Sloan - extremely productive, wide interests, obsessive, and pretty disagreeable.

Homepage xahlee.org/ says:

Siphon my knowledge into your brain. Assimilate my sensibilities to your spine.

Nice Second brain vibe.
