Re: Au Revoir
#23It always amazes me how you can convince a founder/CEO is not right man for the job, and slowly push him away.
Companies that succeed are driven by burning vision, not by day-to-day operation people. It might make feel the companies run smoother for some time, but day-to-day executives are harmful to a company core vision leading to boring companies if they manage to sustain profitability in the long run at all.

#24I love the art made for the post. It's so emotional and powerful. The letter told the story, but the image made me feel the story. So simple, but yet so powerful.
Also, @solomonstre has changed his Twitter profile picture. This is brilliant communication. He lets everyone know that he has moved on to other things, just from his profile picture. I think this is very interesting and clever.

#25I was able to get the page to load, here's the text of thet post: "Today I’m announcing my departure from Docker, the company I helped create ten years ago and have been building ever since. A founder’s departure is usually seen as a dramatic event. Sadly, I must report that reality is far less exciting in this case.

That’s incredibly myopic, there are lots of successful businesses that run because everything runs smoothly. What is the burning vision of Coca Cola? I’m pretty sure their business is successful because they sell the same product year after year with little to no change.

#27Thanks Solomon for creating the inflection point of the container revolution.
I'm a bit puzzled about where docker as a company has to go. But the enthusiasm that was unleashed is without par.

#28Site appears to be down but I'm guessing the post is related to this tweet? https://twitter.com/Docker/status/979027618866520064

'Incredible journey' is usually reserved for software companies selling out or shutting down, neither of which is happening in this case.
