He does more without a job than most people do with one.

I am, but to be honest, I got more done when I had a job. See all those sites? I did all of those, wrote for them, worked on LPTHW, wrote mulletdb.com, hacked on lamson, a few other projects, and still played guitar about 4 hours a day.

Now that I'm just working on Mongrel2 it feels like I do less. Weird.

Geez, man. Do you ever sleep? :-)

Oh, and just out of curiosity, what guitar music are you spending the most time on? Is it mostly your own stuff, or are you learning a lot of things written by others?

I work on Jazz mostly, but older Jazz. Which means I play a lot of scales. :-)

He's also planning to give python classes: http://codelesson.com/python (discussed in http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1724354)

Wasn't he employed with dropbox?

He was.
