> Does Joel Spolsky know? I don’t think he’d be impressed. It doesn’t matter if he would be impressed. He sold the business, cash in hand, emotions have no place here. I’m thinking about something else: if this company was the best buyer, what was the state of that business?

The business was fine. The new CEO was trash.

  Okay, what was the state of the business under the new ceo at the time when the business was sold to the current owner?

    Languishing, since all resources were being pushed into Glitch. Which then failed.

      Thanks, that’s insightful.

        It’s also inaccurate, but judging by the rest of his comments here, I’m not sure accuracy is the goal.

        It is not inaccurate in the slightest. I'd love to hear exactly what you think is incorrect about it, but I'm well aware you avoid specificity as much as possible.

I believe Fog Creek sold it to someone else. I'm not sure how many times it has changed hands before it ended up where it is.
