I wish companies would do away with the "leaving to pursue other opportunities" nonsense and just give no reasons if they don't want to discuss it. No C-level exec resigns "effective immediately" without either a transition plan in place or something concrete lined up. I get wanting to allow him to say he resigned instead of he was fired, but the silly language of the press release just makes it worse.

Maybe “he wants to spend more time with family”?

This is my favorite excuse in sports because they "retiree" almost always comes back out of retirement which leads me to believe they've had enough time with their family.

Only to get tired of them two weeks later and suddenly find himself with another CEO spot?

Under Bryan Bogensberger's leadership, npm lost: - its CTO - its COO co-founder - some fantastic people in the JavaScript community - a federal labor dispute - its culture - its reputation - its business model to Github

"But other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

> they've had enough time with their family

As a parent of two very lively small boys, I can say that "enough time with family" is a thing.

Nico Rosberg, springs to mind. Not racing again, but he does like to show his face at the races a lot.

I’m fascinated by the fact that while node has become a new standard in the industry , and the project is receiving lots of supports from all sorts of companies ( IBM , Microsoft etc...) absolutely no discussion has been opened about how much at risk the JavaScript ecosystem actually is with « npm » and it’s weekly dramas

Not a month pass without something going wrong inside of inc, millions of developers are dependant on it but nothing seem to worry people...

Story is all about his “success” and desire to seek new opportunities- why not a few sentences about the ongoing labor related litigation.

It's a press release, not a news article. It only says what NPM Inc. wanted to say, in the way they desired.

And he has only been CEO for eight months (January 2019).
