His original post , titled I can't sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.

In his blog post he explicitly said two things:

He can’t concentrate on work while this is going on
He actively refuses to work with a certain set of investors (conceivably the ones backning CircleCI)

That doesn’t leave much room for others to work with him
