I wish I was in those circles. It would be really fun and informative to buy up a bunch of the carouses of dead startups and do a code/architecture review. What ideas did this team have that was interesting? What's confusing in the code base? Would I repeat any of these things in the future.

Sometimes the people who handle selling off the physical assets of a failed company don't do a good job of wiping computers. When the '80s Unix workstation company Callan Data Systems went out of business, my developer workstation was auctioned off with a full copy of AT&T Unix source code on it.

I wonder if people are more careful about this nowadays?

I suppose even if they are sloppy, a modern workstation probably has an encrypted filesystem so the buyer is probably not going to get anything off it.

A MoviePass recruiter reached out to me a couple months ago. I regret not taking the interview just to see what it was like on the inside.

So I am a bit confused as to how Stripe Issuing helps us figure out the underlying technologies that ties a company as OP above asked? Am I missing something?
