Does seem a bit of a strange fit for DigitalOcean. That said, they seem like a solid company and they really do have some really good tutorials/knowledgebase.

Sounds like a good time to sell it off though and hope they have the same success with future projects.

Not that strange. DigitalOcean has (or had?) a great forum for asking tech questions on setting up droplets and other DO services. It was very community driven. I relied on it often when I first made my VPS back in 2013.
Yeah their docs have always been top notch. Couldn't have found a better home IMO.
They did buy launchaco, maybe their move is "build your stuff and host it on our stuff"
Launchaco got bought by Namecheap
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I typed that.
Well, CSS-tricks is used by web developers. Web developers are a big slice of DO's target market, as they usually need servers/hosting.
