And I learned so much from the questions that folks ask.

You know, I think that's,
only partly true if you want to stay in the CEO job.
I think the CEO job has a lot of requirements that are not necessarily things that you love to do in the morning.
There's a huge amount of responsibility that comes along with being a CEO.

But I think because I really like leading our company and leading the direction and strategy for the business, and because I see a huge opportunity in transforming the way that people use computing in the future, both through Snapchat, but also with specs, I think this is the right role for me right now.
I mean, certainly I would spend more time with my family and probably have more fun on some days if I was in a different role or, you know, more focused on design.
