It seems like the CDN companies are suddenly(1) becoming App Platforms in a big way. “Computing at the edge” is going from expensive, meme AWS re:Invent buzzword to fun and easy — with no AWS in sight. I hope this deal works out well for the Glitch employees!

1: I know it’s been years in the making, but I’m still slinging Docker containers in a single AWS region.

They are trying to do to the Cloud what the Cloud providers did to on-premises iron and "legacy" hosting providers.

And the wheel of re-innovation turns yet again.

I doubt it's going to be a payday for glitch employees stock-wise, but hopefully fastly is a good place for them to work.

Not going by their Glassdoor reviews. I know it is not a reliable source and its incentives are all wrong, but I've never seen a more damning set of reviews for any tech company

I've just read through several pages of reviews and while there are criticisms and red flags it does not rise to the level of 'most damning reviews of any tech company' that you imply.

maybe he meant the glitch glassdoor reviews.

A company I worked for was acquired by a software holding company, and I am pretty sure they have the worst GlassDoor ever.

You're right, this definitely wins. I'm so sorry for you :)

This one made me laugh:

> - Idera Inc has an anagram: Acridine. Here are some facts about Acridine:

> ○ It's a colorless (and probably soulless) solid obtained by dousing a foul smelling compound (coal tar) in a destructive liquid (sulfuric acid)

> ○ Both it and its homologues are weakly basic

> ○ Acridine is a skin irritant

More like content companies, not nec. app providers.
