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.
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.
This is literally Animal Farm / team lead "multiplier" nonsense.
And like in Animal Farm, the pigs profit.
