He’s put his heart and soul into the company for 10 years, is wildly successful, and doesn’t think he’s the best person for this next phase.
I don’t think any back alley drama needs to have happened.
- k__ 9y agoMaybe he doesn't want to be that person? Founding a company is much different from running it. I'd consider founding exiting for the first years, but later rather boring.
- hinkley 9y agoMore than that, he's put his energy in the same company for most of his professional life. Nobody wants to be a one trick pony. Even if you are successful beyond your wildest dreams, people want more than one act in their lives. If I had founded docker, I'd be retiring now[1], because I've done other things and this might feel like the cherry on top. But he's only 34. [1] If I knew how, which I don't. At best I'd switch fields and start over on something else I care about.
