Ha! Would've IPO'd 5 years ago without all that nasty code.
Is my EPP gone?
Renamed to CPP by the time I left. The "Breit"ling spirit remained though.
I saw it referred to as EPP in S-1. 90% of volume through it now!
suggestion - throw up a "isbufgoneyet" site that tracks % of original buf code no longer in master (according to git blame or whatever is the best way to do it). would be a fun afternoon project.
In the summer of 2012, I rewrote literally every line of the front end to prep for international launches in the sense that every line had me as the git blame author. I'm actually pretty curious how much is left.
Hopefully you're also happy to be exercising some stock options!
I always wondered how the stock exercising process feels like for an early employee who has left company few years before the IPO. Is there any feeling of lost opportunities amidst all the happiness of the exit?
