e2e4··on Trucking startup Convoy closes operations with no buyer
> What would a buyer have even been purchasing in this scenario?

> A pile of code? Is it particularly hard to recreate?

I think you are buying time. Yes, code could be written, but would probably take at least a year.

Additionally, money-wise what matters is net, even if something is overpriced, all that matters in the end, can you make more than you've spent.

p.s. thanks for the interesting question to ponder and discuss

e2e4··on What not to say to someone who has just been laid off
I wasn't aware of the "IT crowd" comedy tv show. It definitely lifted my spirit up, perhaps in a similar way that layoff episode of "office space" would. It is black humor, but humor nonetheless, and some people do appreciate such form. Censoring comedy doesn't seem right.

This is the episode to which the parent post refers: https://youtu.be/TKOrr4XRbg8
