One of the most interesting examples is Mitchell Hashimoto of HashiCorp fame (13B publicly traded company). His career path was: HashiCorp CoFounder -> CEO -> CTO -> Engineer -> finally left HashiCorp in December 2023.

Now he enjoys private life while creating a super-cool Ghostty terminal in Zig [0], currently in private beta.
