Dylan Araps, prolific, if not a little mysterious, open source/linux developer made all his github repos public archives, and left a one line readme that says, 'Have taken up farming.'

Discussion
Dylan Araps was prolific. There was a time about four years ago where I was looking at all the stuff he had done and it was inspirational.
Though, a little demoralizing when comparing what he'd published with what I had.
Now, with hindsight, we can see that he may have burned out. He could have changed his priorities, though, too.
Why are you assuming he ‘burned out’?
I think I read messages that he had posted a while ago that hinted at that.
That he burned out is mostly an assumption on my part. Producing that much software in such a short time seems unnaturally prolific.
He could have just decided to move on. His name could have also been a pseudonym and he may have moved onto other projects using a different name.
I just found it interesting that he posted that at the same time I was feeling drawn to small scale farming.
