Explored Max taking Product role for Linux

Situation

Floated the idea of Max potentially taking a Product role for Linux (or the head of Product for Linux role) while acknowledging his preference not to manage people. Framed as a question to explore optionality.

Reasoning

Frustrated with Brady learning curve and patience running thin. Max has deep Linux expertise and good judgment about what should be built. There is a recognized gap in Product leadership for Linux specifically - have raised the need for head of product numerous times with Bjorn. Exploring organizational optionality without forcing a decision, respecting Max preference not to manage.

Additional Context

Exploratory conversation, not a firm decision. Max does not want to manage people. Brady frustration is context but this is about finding the right structural solution.

Observed Evidence

Slack DM: Asked Max if he would ever want a job in Product for Linux or THE job. Also said We agree on the need for a head of product and Ive made the point numerous times to bjorn.
