Brad Feld had one of the most insightful and helpful blogs, particularly before the golden era of tech/vc twitter and there wasn't much out there for folks not in the club. hope this gives him more time to post more.

That's basically in the job description for the highest levels though. They're expected to literally lead the industry in their field. If they're merely now a solid and productive programmer/uber tech lead then they don't remotely merit such a high position. Since demotion doesn't exist for various reasons, the only solution is separation.
a lifetime ago back at Microsoft, Peter Spiro described these folks job expectation as "walk on water". if you wanted to exceed expectations, you had to "leave no wake"...
note that they already supported this migration capability to AWS and Azure.

Seems a bit misleading, they're not distributing more work units, not closing the research center. Nonetheless, this is sad news to me. My entire career path in the tech world was because I got a campus job working for SETI@home.
agreed - I think the title should be updated to call out the "app" shuts down.

I agree with Disney, but what does Epic do other than build software?
