god I feel sorry for the poor saps still in the grind.
I'd be more honest =)
Yeah, sure, they worked hard, but in the end they get a big fat F for the end result.
Services don't last forever, but I'm not gonna congratulate someone who runs around in circles for 3 years purporting to deliver a product of value, and then gives up when offered a better deal for themselves.
They didn't build a product, they built a nothing. It's like reverse vaporware, and I won't respect it.
If you just made several mil I honestly doubt you're thinking about making the "transition as smooth as possible". You're thinking "should I buy a Lambo or a Ferrari?"
They probably got a memo from Dropbox saying "now that we own your ass, here is a press release that you'll publish asap"
