There is a lot here to talk about, but I will start with something trivial: that he made two commits to the repo.
In the second commit, he adds a photo:

I feel like some day sociologists and historians will write of this era, and I hope details like this are remembered. It says something about how fully we live technological lives now, that a person might make multiple commits to a suicide note.
In fact, he might have made many commits and then used rebase to erase them.
Also, someone responded by opening an issue:

It's a trivial detail, but it says a lot about our era.
I hope things turn out well for him.

He's got excellent work experience for Mozilla, and a good degree. Working for a tech company in New York. What's bad about that?
He's still asking for a second job on weekends just to make ends meet.
May 22: "What part time job would allow me to work on Friday - Sunday with some rest in between? Need one so I can make up some cash."
He can't afford anything more than a tiny room:
Apr 13: "if only @LifeOnPurple can release a full size mattress tonight I'd be able to purchase >_< my bedroom can't take a Queen size. #mattress"
He cares about the world, but it makes him poor (me too - refusing to work for weapons manufacturers or oil companies has seriously limited my scope of potential jobs)
Apr 5: "I'd be interested in working at places where I can exercise social responsibility and making industry standard salary. Too hard."
He's bored at work, probably because managers don't give him enough to do, or don't care enough to simply talk to him. ]
Mar 28: "When I don't seem to do much or making huge progress at work I wonder am I the new fossil at work? At age of 25? Really?"
He can't get insurance (me too):
Mar 5: I write software so I am denied for vision coverage. I am Chinese so I am denied for liver coverage. #preexistingconditions
