    I hope they continue and expand the practice. It seems like a cool initiative, though I'm a little fuzzy on what the products of the initiative are. For example, you can get the fo…

    This is not to mention that kick ass programmers that leave can end up being competitors. Any employee that's valuable knows the ins and outs of your company/software (what's good …
