His startup, Apex, has shut down: https://apex.sh/<p>It appears he stopped using Twitter in 2022. 0 Github contributions in the last year.<p>For those that don't know TJ, he's created numerous NPM libraries, including Express for Node.js. For more context, here's a blog post I found that talks about TJ's contributions: https://medium.com/@kelas/how-is-tj-holowaychuk-so-insanely-productive-604818b4e9eb<p>Is he alright? I hope he's OK.
There are recent updates on his Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/tjholowaychuk?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://instagram.com/tjholowaychuk?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==</a>
I was wondering about this too a couple of months back. Couldn't find any answer but seeing Apex.sh go away was sad.<p>Tj's choice of minimalistic design is still a huge inspiration for me, I still enjoy it to this day!
I naturally picked up to use Koa (Express successor), Pug (then Jade) and Stylus (feels more productive than SCSS) to boost productivity only to later find they originated from a same person TJ. Excellent mind.<p>And those are just part of his commitments.
Oh TJ was such an inspiration for me personally. All the rumors that it's a company actually made it even more fun. And then out of sight out of mind.
