Following an increasing desire to focus on working on the D

and nine months.
When I read this post one of the things that crossed my mind was
how Andrei could afford to do this, but personal economic issues
tend to be sensitive matters so I didn't presume to ask. It seems
that someone else asked it (very directly) on reddit, and Andrei
replied. His answer is basically that he's taking a large pay cut
to do this:

Given the implicit donation (the financial opportunity cost) that
Andrei is making to D, I just wanted to say: thank you.
