Fastly acquires Glitch, the web coding service formerly called Fog Creek Software; Glitch CEO Anil Dash will join Fastly as its VP of developer experience
it's a super tough business to be in with plenty of dead startups, but they built something special so I hope they can continue to exist! https://twitter.com/... Mike Masnick / @mmasnick : Interesting news... hoping this actually leads to more growth for Glitch, rather than putting it on course for eventual closure... https://twitter.com/... @kyliebytes : Fastly bought Glitch. I sat down with @anildash yesterday when I heard the news. “Five years ago, people told me I was nuts. It was like, ‘the web is dead.’ And I'm like, I don't think so. I think people wanna make s—t online for their friends,” he said. https://www.businessinsider.com/ ... Jesse von Doom / @jessevondoom : One of the best parts of working at @glitch is the the people I get to work with. Their drive, kindness, care, and vision. Working with @fastly I've seen the same in their people, and I'm so excited for the things we get to build together. This is going to be really good. https://twitter.com/... Fintan Ryan / @fintanr : Really interesting acquisition by @fastly. Congrats to @anildash & the entire @glitch team. https://twitter.com/... @threepointone : Very cool, feels like a win for both parties. Congrats to all! https://twitter.com/... Jenn / @jennschiffer : i've been so busy working with some really amazing folks at @fastly to make this happen, i never came up with what i should say once this news was live! i'm excited, hopeful, and energized to bring our awesome community who means so much to us all into this next chapter. 💜 https://twitter.com/... Rahul Ganjoo / @elegantlywasted : Woah - some of the OGs getting back together 🙌🏻🙌🏻 https://twitter.com/... Simon Willison / @simonw : I guess this means Datasette runs on a Fastly now! https://docs.datasette.io/... https://twitter.com/... @anildash : I think when I was talking to @jake_k, I said Fastly's new platform is “cool as shit”. Obviously, I uh... am still learning how to communicate as an executive at a respected publicly traded company. 😬 But it's true, tho! https://www.theverge.com/... @anildash : And I'm thrilled to say the *entire* Glitch team is coming over to Fastly — plus we'll be hiring, so come join us and help make Glitch even better!
