I hate these emails, and LinkedIn is guilty of this too.
200 lines of how wonderful the company was and all the great people and all the great accomplishments and yadda yadda... and one cryptic line about why he's actually quitting.
And the "I want to try something new" line is always a cover for something else.

- xedrac 4y agoIn the case of Lars, this may actually be true. Imagine working on the same project since the year 2000. I'd want to try something new too.
- joezydeco 4y agoLars wrote Webkit in the middle of Qt development. Surely he could find out-of-band time and headspace to tinker with different technologies if he wanted to. To me, leaving completely signals something else.
- xedrac 4y agoYour choice of words did not go unnoticed. You could say Lars is a bit of an expert on signals... he's off to some unknown slot, connected by destiny! ;)
- thijsvandien 4y agoAt least they're not going to "spend more time with family".
- stjohnswarts 4y agoIsn't it possible that he's tired of c++ and Qt after 25 years? I mean he's starting a new startup so he probably can't reveal what that is, but it's obviously something he's excited about. Hell after 2 or 3 years at company I'm ready to finish up whatever I'm working and move on to somewhere else.
