Is the implication that if he wasn't a counter strike pro, or a goalkeeper for the nation futsal team, or that he built a BMW, or a programmer, that his life would have been worth less?

At the end of the day, his life is precious to him as much as anybody's life is to themself. And to the shooter he's just another 'invader'. I didn't know of him before and I honestly will forget in a week, maybe a faint memory as "that programmer guy who got killed in christchurch".

Why is he more important to write about than the other 49 who got snuffed out by the nationalist in his ideological war?

WTH. We’re appreciating the life of this one guy, whom many of us happen to relate to because we’re also programmers. That doesn’t diminish the lives of anyone else who was slain at Christchurch.
