Almost certainly
- mromanuk 5y agowhy he stepped down as CEO, then CTO and now IC?
- estro0182 5y agoSo the company can bring in outside execs without ousting one of the founders from a C-suite role.
- jldugger 5y agoIf I had to guess: 1. Perhaps because he can. 2. Because being a CEO of a public company comes with a lot of rules around disclosure of material public information and equal access. It takes a special kind of person to disregard general consel and just shitpost on twitter with zero review while directly responsible to shareholders. I don't know what kind of safe harbor Elon thinks Twitter offers but I doubt it applies to Github code review.
- qbasic_forever 5y agoCEO of a publicly traded company is a vastly different job than CEO of a private startup. Your job is to make money for shareholders, not pursue a vision. It's not something everyone wants to do and is likely a lot less rewarding for someone who successfully creates a technology company.
- that_guy_iain 5y agoIf I was to guess, he wants to write code and he started the company so he could write code. He just had to do those jobs along the way to get to the point where he could just focus on writing code and solving problems.
- SteveMorin 5y agoYes that's exactly the reason. I know them through friends
- v1g1l4nt3 5y agoHe's a true engineer at heart. This is him at Dev Tool Time recently: https://srcgr.ph/mitchell-hashimoto https://srcgr.ph/mitchell-hashimoto
- bostonsre 5y agoHe has enough money now and wants to do what he loves.
