I wonder what ended up happening inside PayPal since this post.

Original Poster from the linked thread, Same thing, different day. Most talented people I know have left or "left" (including myself to found my own company), there is a lot of internal Game of thrones. Some of us saw this coming (based on publicly disclosed stock unloading by David)

Now that DM is gone, I am very bearish on PayPal. Good news is he can now openly mentor and advice entrepreneurs in the space.

Shower thoughts: Maybe I should write a full blog post with all the spicy stuff! (with GOT memes)

So why did he give up? What do you think of Bill Scott BTW? What about Braintree?

One can only speculate. I would refer you to his statement, seems like he is more interested in "getting shit done" than getting drained by bureaucracy.

As for Bill Scott, its a 2 edged sword. I think he runs a good ship, and great guy if you are part of his team or enjoy his patronage or benefit his goals/vision. Him and his team understand technology, appreciate doing what they do. They are one of the forward looking tech teams at PP. But, it comes with usual red herrings though.
