Considering that you sold Gravatar previously, this was probably less of a difficult decision for you than it would have been for many.

Hey, us family men like adventure too! We just can't live in a cardboard box in San Francisco, or pretty much anywhere in California for that matter (my wife was a clarinet major, not a lawyer).
It doesn't take six figures to raise a family, California aside.
I don't think he was claiming that it was a bad thing, it just was not the best for him given his inspiration from GitHub.
