- insomniacity 8y agoI think zalmoxes' point was that they may have found out through direct contact from the founders, or a customer-only email 2 weeks ago - rather than just by loading up the homepage today.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Weeks notice is last minute. Well, no, it's literally not. It's actually a reasonably long lead time for “going out of business”, which basically no one ever announces before essentially all hope of finding a way to keep the business running is exhausted, which intrinsically means there is little runway left.
- gamblor956 8y agoYep, it literally is last minute for a platform product used by others during a time of the year when the developers responsible for finding/building a replacement would otherwise have gone on vacation. If this were a tangible product, a week notice would be fine since it gives customers time to stock up.
