This article is garbage for so many reasons. The worst offense is using the "don't be afraid to pursue your dreams" nonsense. That line is so old and cliche and that's not even the real takeaway here.
The most important takeaway for all you up-and-coming-CTOs-and-Founders is "Be the type of leader that can bring 40 of your engineers with you to your new company".
40 engineers is staggering. That's an instant engineering org. You start the ground running and you all have a common history and language. I would easily wager that Zoom wouldn't be the company it would be if Yuan wasn't the leader that could attract 40 current workers to his startup.
