>> why doesn't he write blog posts? why he has so little online presence? >> bellard is a programming genius and true C hacker. his works are so great ... 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.

I wonder if we could regain the level of intellectual maturity of the 19th and 20th century and not criticize those who already give away so much that they are not working hard enough. This is literally Animal Farm / team lead "multiplier" nonsense. And like in Animal Farm, the pigs profit.

Bellard is famous for starting a number of projects that have since been carried on by others. 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.
