Yesterday they launched a re-designed website. Today they closed doors. https://www.fast.co/

Yikes

Crazy that they were still redesigning their website considering that their entire core app barely even worked.

Like this is just so bizarre, they had seemingly top tier engineers (and a lot of them!) and they couldn't get a working check out experience? Can't wait for the post mortems

Maybe they couldn't agree on the frontend framework to use. Not entire companies, but I've seen projects fail because of this or some similar decision paralysis

Talk about engineers having an existential crisis on making things no one will ever use.

And I'm sure they all knew it was happening as they were working on it. Things like that are why I gave up on caring about anything in this industry and just do the bare minimum to earn my paycheck.
