Another great reminder that humans are programmable robots and just do what they're incentivized to do. I'm generalizing, of course... but that doesn't make it not true. =) Just wanted to drop a line to say we're including this article in our newsletter this week! https://blissbook.com/newsletter Thanks for writing this.

Hi Bob, Thanks for posting this excerpt. So great that we linked to it in our weekly newsletter. If you want to check that out, you can do it on our blog: blissbook.com/blog Reminds me of what Steve Blank wrote about Tim Cook and Apple: https://steveblank.com/2016/10/24/why-tim-cook-is-steve-ballmer-and-why-he-still-has-his-job-at-apple/ I would argue that Kapor's problem isn't that he didn't want to run a big company, it's that he didn't believe that he *could* run a big company *his* way, so he farmed it out.
