Don't forget that he discovered the fastest known algorithm for computing an arbitrary digit of pi. If you ever are tempted to get egotistical, just think of this guy. If you are prone to low self esteem, avoid reading about him.
He is presumably working for a good company (or at least one that is good for him) and has time management skills himself.

Seriously, who does Bellard work for?
He seems to leave virtually no trace (other than awesome software) on the Internet. I googled the shit out of him tonite...
Probably because he spends his time writing awesome software.
