The most fascinating thing to me about this blog post is that here we have a guy in his fifties who got insanely rich by working very hard (no doubt) and then selling a major stock broker platform (it is briefly mentioned as "in banking") - and what does he choose to do now with spare time and more money than anyone could use? He is maintaining Emacs. For fun. This is why open source will grow. It feels meaningful to contribute. He could sail, travel, invest, buy expensive stuff, etc. But Emacs hacking it is. Makes me happy to see.
