Back when “reddit.com” was a subreddit. I remember the thread (you can still visit it today) regarding his early departure. And how Aaron and spez didn’t really want to disclose the “real reason”. But, it saddens me how the public viewed his contributions as complete nil in result of no full disclosure (Aaron did simply state corporate life (post acq.) was not for him, but everyone says that).
Especially during times like this when the same batch of Aaron’s year (Altman, Huffman, etc) are pushing closed source thoughts. We need Open Access civics, like Aaron again.
Guys like Aaron will always be forced out by guys like Steve because guys like Aaron don’t want to be assholes, which is a necessity guys like Steve have no issue with.
There’s never going to be a satisfying “real reason” to things like this. The reality is probably something fairly unremarkable like them not getting along and they can’t talk about it because of an NDA or because they want to be polite, especially following his death, people generally don’t want to speak ill of the dead. Much less say something that makes it sound like they were mean to someone who folks view as a martyr.
Pretty much every professional “break up” works out like this. Folks who are curious about it assume there was something bigger going on or something malicious. That’s rarely the case.

It’s not a surprise that the c-suite has the highest number of psychopaths.
