You might want to do fewer, less frequent releases in order to provide training to end users. You might also want to do do fewer, less frequent releases in order to facilitate a marketing push centered around the release.

How does this work from an employee point of view? Are they compensated in the buyout? Do they get to do any negotiation with their new employer? The cynic in me thinks this could easily be a raw deal for non-owners.

There can also be accounting considerations. Sometimes contractors are the first to go, other times they are last. Carrying a contractor frequently looks much cheaper than carrying an employee.

The java version spends 75% of it's time gc? That smells fishy to me. edit: I just got to section VI of the paper, which does some gc tuning. In my playing, I also found about a 20% speedup by changing the HavlakLoopFinder.UnionFindMode c

It's been a long time, but I believe Ada provides the ability for the first 4 and I would bet you could define the last two in it.

Would you care to expand on your experiences with this? I keep hearing of people who take this approach, but I've always been skeptical on how well it really works out. Assume that I have a job. What you would be offering me would be an o

If you are ever exercising your options; get out the crowbar, pry open your wallet, and go find an accountant to explain all of your tax options and the risks involved in them. If you exercise your options, I believe you generate a taxable

How many hours a week are the employees expected to put in versus the number of hours you were billing? I've been places where the employees were abused and the contractors were expected to work not a minute more than 8 hours per day.

Or you could talk to Joe down the hall. He has the 'gold' version of the source code on his desktop. Don't forget to send him your changes when you are done and he will integrate it to the current 'gold' version.

The big risk I always see with git is that you start storing more and more work locally. This exposes you to the chance of hardware failure on a desktop pc. With svn, it would be easier for the hardware to be redundant and backed-up.
