What Hacker News says?

  1. I don't have any details, but maybe this post from a few weeks later about his mental state is relevant? https://balazsorban.com/blog/depression-and-oss I can't imagine the pressure of running a popular OSS project, even if you have support from a company to make it your full time job.
