What happens to Benji York?

I ask this question to ClaudeAI and got this interesting answer:

What became of Benji York (creator of SNESKey, 1998)

The Benji York behind the SNESKey page went on to have a long career in software development and is still active today.

The trail connects cleanly. The original site was hosted on a Tennessee Tech University server (csc.tntech.edu), and in a later interview he confirms that the console-controller project dates back to his college years. During that time the emulation scene for NES, SNES, Genesis and similar consoles was taking off, and he had a side project that let people connect console controllers to their PC — that project was SNESKey.

His career afterward, roughly in order:

• He first worked in the automotive industry, mainly writing supply-chain and manufacturing software.
• He then spent about six years at Zope Corporation, most of that time as the team lead for their main product (Zope being a well-known Python web framework, so he moved deep into the Python ecosystem).
• In 2010 he joined Canonical's Launchpad team (the Foundations team), working on the web-service APIs and OpenID integration. At the time he was working from home in Virginia, USA.
• Today, according to his LinkedIn profile, he works as an engineering leader at Cribl (a data/observability company). On GitHub he goes by benji-york and describes himself as a "disciple, engineering leader, and live production tech," the last part suggesting he is also involved in live production technology.

In short: the hobbyist who in 1998 wanted to get SNES controllers talking to a PC became a long-time Python/open-source developer and engineering lead.
