He’s in a career position to do basically whatever he wants and is doing just that. That seems like the ultimate role &amp;#x2F; achievement that’s far higher than any position on an org chart. Like a startup founder that realizes being CEO isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and they just want to go back to building, which is what they truly enjoy in life. Congrats and more power to you.</text></comment>
