  The author, Ryan Bates, has been on hiatus for a while now due to burn out. He seems to have stopped his open source work in addition his Railscasts screencasts.

    And his social media presence. Ryan is great and burn out is a serious matter. Hope he comes back stronger and more inspired.

      I wouldn't hold my breath. The worst thing you can do after something like that is going back to the old way of working. It's not like you steel yourself by going through such a phase.

      There's been a couple of victims of this - notably Mark Pilgrim. I'd like to see them both talk about what happened so that we can prevent this as a community.

    Why not hand it off to another developer?
