Quite sad to see them go, too.<p>There were a lot of interesting products to work on and a great community.<p>And being rewarded with parts of the company is such a great idea.<p>I guess they were missing profitable companies. There were a lot of great ideas, but they never turned into something big.<p>EDIT: I have to admit I haven&#x27;t been to their site for a few months. They apparently removed the profit sharing part. Which IMHO was their main value preposition. I guess it&#x27;s a huge PITA to handle the legal stuff of it. But collaborating on open source projects is possible on GitHub alone, so why add Assembly to the mix.<p>And in the end money rules the world, so getting a part of a company is a stronger incentive than just working on an open source project for fun&#x2F;your CV.
