“Over a decade ago, my family and I made the leap to move from Germany to the United States after the sale of my startup to Microsoft,” he wrote. “After all this time, my startup roots have begun tugging on me, and I’ve decided to leave GitHub to become a founder again.”
Dohmke also predicts that AI will enable software developers to achieve more.
