Why I walked away from a million dollars

Apparently because it makes a good hook for a PR fluff piece?

This is an example of an article that doesn't belong in hacker news. For one, the title is an example of bait-and-switch. The article doesn't explain why the author walked away from a million dollars. Even worse, it's incredibly vague and self-promotional:<p><i>"Four years ago, I walked away from Amazon and a million dollars. I was a 21-year-old kid running a billion-dollar team, but I wanted more."</i><p>Walked away from a million dollars? How? What is a billion-dollar team?<p>Flagged.

Here I was thinking it'd explain why you walked away from a million dollars.<p>TLDR: I didn't want a million dollars to sell my company, now here's all the information about my company.

way too much self-promotion...
