He’s got some psychiatric issues.

You're not kidding. From his "about" page:

"As I neurally wave farewell here, I remain an atheist, and I'm delighted scientists are still researching to move humanity to its highest apexes of enlightenment. My various neurotransmitter release rates decelerate over time due to a prenatal genetic alteration by alcohol and tobacco, but in my neural disturbances, I've danced and conversed with processions of rainbow "ghost" women to keep me company through the occasional derivative misty night. From age five to age twenty-six, I called this attention deficit hyperactive disorder, A.D.H.D. Now, I've grown to call this part of myself the descript phrase Neural Deceleration Disorder, N.D.D. By selectively disconnecting certain neurons and combining slow motion adrenaline release, I am first to declare I am the strongest man alive by such mechanisms. Neurons and other cells in parts of my body like the eyes, visual cortex, cerebral cortex, and prefrontal cortex work somewhat independently yet are holistically intertwined like a networked graph to create the reality I perceive. The website logo of josephcantrell.org in the top left is an image of my brain generated using an MRI machine at Georgia Tech, and it is encoded with the recognition of my motivations. Decode my obfuscated code in my home executive functions JS file, and refresh straight away for secret magnetic induction powers to blacken the hole of the Milky Way. 101010x3!"

Anyone that decodes functions.js (https://josephcantrell.org/functions.js) can find the hidden message he talks about:

May be suffering from schizophrenia or some related issue.

Basically it creates an animation where trippy1 is rained down the page infinitely.

Reads like amphetamine psychosis.

Been there.

He seemed to be going down a nasty rabbit hole of paranoia. He believed Velocity internet was racketeering and working with gang members to cut off his internet and mess with him.

He recorded phone calls with their support: https://josephcantrell.org/res/audio/

He also catalog a bunch of random stuff here: https://josephcantrell.org/res/reports/

I wonder how on earth Microsoft didn't pick up on this behavior earlier? There's no way he was completely normal at work.

That it is mentioned that it was a fellow $TechName employee is a testament to how rare violence between employees in the tech sector is.

To the luck point, there are plenty of places in the head and neck where an injury won't kill a person. The consequences of the wound to his brain might never be apparent to anyone other than those close to him.

Guy was stabbed in the neck and head and survived? Modern medical care is a miracle.

It's somewhat about luck. Phineas Gage got an iron rod through his head 150 years ago and survived. The body can be surprisingly fragile and tough at the same time.

Also a skull fracture and brain bleed...sounds like his head hit the pavement on the way down.

Undesirable work culture, or mentally unstable? Both?

a generous amount of the latter, at least
