bellard is a programming genius and true C hacker. his works are so great but how humble is his website! why doesn't he write blog posts? why he has so little online presence? hmm. let us wish him a long and productive life.

It's probably related. Obviously it's his and only his decision, but I wonder if him slowing down to share the knowledge and skills could have been more productive in the sense that others could do similar work.
This is literally Animal Farm / team lead "multiplier" nonsense.
And like in Animal Farm, the pigs profit.

Looking at his output some time ago, one of the main things that I found inspiring was how much good he did by sharing his work in a form that others could build on it.
Complaining that he's done insufficient to bring others on seems really unfair.
Valley startup hipster culture doesn't get this.
