#2Good for him. I hope he comes back in a few months with renewed energy for the next evolution of kottke.org, but even if not, or he heads in a different direction entirely, he deserves it.

#3He should probably plant the fig tree outside, at this point. (Not sure how that fits in to the analogy.)

#4Huge fan of kottke, he should take all the time he needs. I will say there's no way that tree isn't pot-bound though.

#5Personally I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am burnt out. This post is inspiring and I appreciate the author's honesty about his struggles. I hope soon I can take well well needed rest to recharge, and hopefully feel better about my life.

#6kottke heavily shaped my thinking during peak RSS years. I miss it. social media taints the deep reflective thought he's fostered for over 20 years. I wish him bountiful inspiration on this journey.

#9people posting things on the internet just isn't that much of a novelty anymore
frankly nothing "internet" is a novelty anymore
no one needs your edgy take, nonlinear thinking, "challenging ideas"...its all just blah blah blah
the world needs people to build houses, not websites
get used to seeing more old-tyme content creators sign off for good, most of their bits had just been reduced to noise anyway

I infer he's living in Vermont at this point. I don't think it will thrive outside unless he's got a greenhouse.
