The road from leaving Meta to join Framework as an early employee and build it to the company it is today was interesting and insightful (I will do a detailed write-up in 2025 on the journey and the reasons for resigning, and some ideas for Framework moving into the future).Spending the last few months to work on my own small business and spend time with family has been a true blessing.
