Cheers to Amir and the Trigger team, but I don't understand why there's a big announcement about the management change. I got an email about it, which felt odd.

  We always prefer to be open and thought it right to inform our customers of the change. I hope that openness is interpreted as a strength.

    This is really nicely done. I do hope that avoiding the inevitable product death of acqui-hires hasn't reduced your upside from the new gig too much. I would suspect that anybody worrying about the future of trigger.io as a result would have worried far more had they found out about this any other way - and I'd imagine that as soon as continued active development in your absence is visibly happening (i.e. the next batch of features rolls out) even those people should largely calm down. Good luck.

  If you don't announce what you're doing and why, people will always assume the worst. I'd be interested in finding out if there is an economic story-behind-the-story. I'll echo other people's thoughts that it's great that this doesn't leave the users high and dry. There has to be a reason for not doing the typical acqui-hire that is more than altruism. Perhaps the investors didn't want to sell cheap, and it was more economical for the founders to keep their stakes and move on? Great to see them promote from within, and I wish them all the best!

  Others might feel odd if you make a management change without notifying anyone.
