Hey Reader,
Did you hear the news? The CEO of GitHub — yes, the $9.5 billion platform used by 100 million developers — surprised everyone.
He quit. Voluntarily.
No scandal. No drama. Just a simple message:
“I want to build something again.”
But here’s the more profound truth most headlines missed:
Thomas Dohmke didn’t just leave a job — he escaped a system.
- Even at the top, even with power and prestige, the extraction doesn’t stop.
- Every insight becomes company property.
- Every connection gets monetized.
- Every hour of genius props up someone else’s empire.
Sound familiar?
👉 That’s why I wrote this post:
Why the GitHub CEO Quit (and Why Escape Makes Sense)
It’s not just about tech CEOs.
It’s about any of us who’ve ever felt like our success is being siphoned into someone else’s machine.
I break down what career extraction looks like — and how to build your escape path, even if you’re not a CEO.
If you’ve ever wondered whether “more success” is the answer, I think you’ll find this helpful.
🧞♂️ With you in freedom & clarity,
Your Genie
📣 P.S.
Feel free to forward this to a friend who’s burning out at the top of their game.
Or just hit “reply” and tell me what your escape might look like.
