    Hmmm, we have a company who's success has been largely due to it's large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community.... Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who's success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

      But he has worked as a ceo before and thus has ceo experience! /s and thus the circle (jerk) continues.

      You literally stole the words from my mouth. If the board of directors appointed him it must have been for his "glorious" curriculum. He is very qualified indeed to continue the work of his predecessor.

      So, when this guy eventually fucks up the company even more, can they fire him and hire the ex-CEO of Quibi? Or maybe the asshole from Mattel who made that horrible D&D licensing agreement?

      Oh, oh, I know... Steve Huffman! Perfect fit!

        It's funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They're past their series F - they've got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it's been downhill since.

        Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)
