#2May be it is just me, but there should have been a tldr summary or better title (Arash, co-founder of dropbox leaving) or first paragraph. I was reading it half scared wondering if someone died (due to the recent Corona related news).

Yes I also didn't get if he had died or had left Dropbox until the end.

While yes, that would have been a better title in terms of telling us what the post was about, but then you get a different tone for the post.
I think the post is first and foremost for thanking Arash for his work on Dropbox and about the partnership he had with Drew, and telling us about it comes second.

Yes, I wish that the title included "(Dropbox co-founder leaving Dropbox)" or something like that.

I don't disagree with you but at this moment in time it just seems a bit prudent to add something like this at the top:
"Arash – our co-founder and great friend – is leaving Dropbox for new adventures."
Just one simple sentence like that at the top lets us know the rest of the post isn't a eulogy, or at least not the kind where someone passed away.
Any other point in time when there isn't a global pandemic you can leave that out, but right now times are weird and confusing.

#7Quite refreshing note than so many exec "Thank you" emails.
PS: Interestingly, Arash has Mac and Drew has Thinkpad in first picture :).

#8Really nice story about some of the personal history behind Dropbox. It's all news to me. I had never heard of Arash until today.
Anyone know what he's going off to do that he's leaving Dropbox?

It’s 7 short paragraphs. It’s fine.

yes. changing the title is prudent at this time. I thought other way too!
