"When reached for comment by TechCrunch, a Snap spokesperson said that Myers had "decided to step down from his role at Snap." The statement thanked him for his contributions, and wished him "the best in his next chapter." The spokesperson also disputed the "blow-up" characterization but wouldn't reveal more about Myers' departure. The spokesperson added: "We can't wait to bring Specs to the world later this year. We remain focused on disciplined execution and long-term value creation for our developer partners, community and shareholders.""
"Snap has teased the commercial release of Specs for quite a while and, in recent months, has signaled that it's getting serious about the product's launch. In January, the company spun off the Specs team into its own distinct subsidiary, Specs Inc., saying that the move would allow for "greater operational focus and alignment." Myers joined the Snap team in 2020 and, prior to that, held roles at SpaceX, Apple, and Nokia, according to his LinkedIn profile."
