He changes careers, actually. I found this on Andrew MacNeil's blog:

I use his View Editor on a regular basis, and I recently bought the Effective Techniques book he and Jim Booth wrote and I'm looking forward to reading it.

I wouldn't be surprised if I was doing something different 10 years from now, but for now I still enjoy software development. When the time comes, hopefully I will leave the industry before it leaves me.

To Steve, I'll just say "thanks".
