Bending Spoons is an Italian sweatshop with a ton of cash lying around. Anything they touch turns into poop, and as an employer, their reputation is terrible.

But somehow, they have a ton of cash influx that they use to acquire struggling businesses quite frequently.

The enpoopification of Evernote was already well underway by the time they acquired it.

Evernote used to be a one-of-a-kind product. It made a lot of key people filthy rich, and then it sort of lost traction.

I was listening to Gergely Orosz’s podcast[1] on Bending Spoons and found out that Evernote’s codebase was a complete mess and beyond repair.

Beside Evernote which I never used I like the word enpoopification which has nicer ring to it than enshittification.

I see just so much potential to it. It could be linkedIn profiles: Leader|Innovator|Enpooper . Enpoopies awards/badges on forums for questions or blogs like "How can/did we replace aging RabbitMQ setup with Kubernetes-Kafka-Cluster"
