Anybody else notice that Automattic (the wordpress company) now owns the github account for Socket.io? (https://github.com/Automattic/socket.io/ https://github.com/Automattic/socket.io/) As well as mongoose, kue, expect.js and others... when and why did this happen?
- aikah 12y agoWell I guess LearnBoost,whatever it was, was "acquired" by Automattic.

- mmanfrin 12y agoLearnBoost/Guillermo made Socket.io; they had a startup under the same umbrella called CloudUp; Automattic acquired CloudUp/LearnBoost/Socket.io (2 years ago I think).
- georgestephanis 12y agoWe do a lot more than just WordPress. :) But yes, they came aboard with the LearnBoost / CloudUp acquisition nearly almost two years ago. A lot of devs -- both pre-hire background and post-hire focus -- have little or nothing to do with the WordPress back-end. http://automattic.com/work-with-us/ http://automattic.com/work-with-us/
