Yes, Captain Obvious. ;) It was before... I can't tell how much before without looking. Looking, it was Autumn 2009. They included some ex-DANGER people, their architects were big design upfront-oriented rather than anything remotely agile, and it seemed like a stress pressure-cooker. Oh, and a large fraction of product social functionality of those generation of quasi-smartphones were entirely server-side running on a fleet of Motorola's CentOS boxes. They issued workers FireWire-based external backup drives, which I thought was bonkers. tl;dr: Good riddance to them. If you have something constructive to add, please feel free to chime in. |
