Ah I see. You want a CEO that also has a developer role at the same time. You are one of those that think running a company is a BS job and anyone could actually do it, so in your would it would make sense to take someone that was shipping code during the last sprint and just give him the CEO role of a 1 thousand, 300M$ revenue company.

In my world that would be completely stupid and reckless. Nat was coding full-time just a few years ago and move to leadership roles recently, so that's exactly what we need to run GitHub: someone that actually knows how to handle large organisation, and someone who knows what being a developer means so he can make sure GitHub is going in the right direction.

I don't even know why I am arguing with you though, you are clearly just doing some level condescending gate keeping, so it's not like anything I say has any impact.

Have fun being toxic.
