He got old.
Not especially old, though; he looks like a 54yo dev. Reminds me of my uncles when they were 54yo devs.
As a 46 year old dev I'm starting to look that way too.
I guess having 3 kids will do that to you.
That, and developing software for 30+ years.
That and leading an open source project for 30 years.
THE open source project.
Whether you're leading a project or not, time will have pretty much the same impact. He's in his mid-50s, and he looks pretty good for that age.
I mean he's aging quite well given his position... Many people burn out way earlier.
I told him not to go to that beach.

That's an excessive amount of aging is what folks are seeing. Not that he's just old.
He's lost a lot of weight in 4 years so that's probably exacerbating the wtf.
He's 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.
