You're performing some monumental gymnastics if your take away from his post is that he intends to intentionally go waste his time creating bad things.

He clearly states that he isn't comfortable with the responsibilities that come bundled with being part of the operations of a marvelously popular product. His love lies with creating, tinkering and exploring. And with the sale, he has finally extricated himself from the part of his life he disliked so that he can spend his time doing things he enjoys. If any of his side creations wind up blowing up again, he now knows to just leave them behind instead of going through the process of hurting himself, doing things he doesn't like to do.

I don't think it's exactly great that he feels the need to abandon his creations, but I'm happy that his experiences with Minecraft may lead him to make some different decisions in the future to keep himself sane, and enjoy life a bit more.
