< Even RStudio gave up it's R brand to focus on Python

Wouldn't R still be the primary language in RStudio, with Python being made available as necessary? Or is the idea that RStudio will turn into a proper Python IDE? Curious what makes you say that RStudio is putting its 'focus' on Python.

They changed their name to Posit so yeah, that's a conscious move away from R.

< Twitter is not in a good shape

It appears they will make around $6B in annual revenues, I think their financial performance is better than most social media platforms, save FB. In what way, Twitter is not in good shape?

It's likely the 400 m$ is inflated, "by 2024" will be many years late and there will be significant increased costs during the interim period, also likely kept artificially low.

Honest question. Would a CEO be that desperate to keep his job? I imagine Parag can walk away with plenty after the buyout and do something else that he likes.

I imagine it's a pretty intense job that takes up most of your life and permeates your sense of identity. Everything you said can be true and I'd still expect a CEO to be very strongly attached to their position.

CEO jobs aren't plenty like standard SWE jobs.

CEOs typically don't apply for jobs, they can't walk into a company's Career page an apply as a CEO; they are headhunted by specialized headhunter.

Yes, CEO is desperate to keep their job because if they were to let go, they won't score a much higher profile job than their current; they'd be gone to a lower rank companies bidding their luck.

I'd love to read a blog post about CEO movements. One thing they could do is raise money and start a company themselves.
