The CEO and founder of Twitch announced a week ago that he was leaving the company. It's admirable to see a captain going down with his ship. https://news.ycom

  There is something romantic about it, but make sure you don't accidentally admire it more than the captain who keeps their ship safe and thus neither of them go down at all. All those captains out there who are faceless/nameless because their ship didn't get blown to pieces.

  That's the opposite of going down with the ship.

  Or more like transferring ships while the ship goes down :)

  You meant to write "to see a captain jump ship"

  Is it admirable if that same captain steered the ship into a rock leading it to go down in the first place? I don't think so.

  What do you mean? he just appointed a new capitan while he deployed his lifeboat

  It was known for a while that he will leave, so it's not like he left because the company has problems. I mean, they are also "only" firing 3-4% of their workforce, which in my understanding is a pretty low number for a mass layoff. And it's mostly a reaction to their massive growth and hirings in the pandemia, which is now over as the company is shrinking back to a normal size.

  Yes how convenient of him to step down days before having to make a difficult announcement and instead pawning it off on the new interim CEO instead. So admirable. How this could be characterized as "going down with his ship" is absolutely wild to me
