justin frankel’s .plan elaborates on his unsurprising decision to leave nullsoft:

“The company controls what I do with my code [in the past, it seemed I had freedom, but it turns out all of that was not really the case–rather, I was somehow avoiding the control illicitly (for 4 years)]

The company controls the most effective means of self-expression I have.

This is unacceptable to me as an individual, therefore I must leav.”
