Good perspective from Dave Winer about the news that Matt Mullenweg is on leave from Automattic:

I didn’t want to be the CEO of a tech company, and I expect that being the CEO wasn’t really a good fit for Matt either. A CEO’s job is very different from being a developer and idea guy which Matt clearly sees himself as. Something has got to give, either you’re a good CEO and the product languishes, or you focus on the product, and the company is unmanaged.

This applies to Micro.blog too. I’m not a good CEO and not a good boss. I try to make the web a little better by helping people blog.
