LinkedIn says the company was 2-10 employees. 75% laid off wouldn't have been a lot of people. Tough for them though.

Three engineers laid off, one remaining.

Hey folks, we're doing the next reading in the Software Internals Book Club. This is a long book so we'll cover it in three chunks with breaks in between. There are over 2,500 members in the club mailing list overall and typically 300-800 join any given book reading. It's all asynchronous over email. Different people kick off discussion for each chapter which makes it more fun and more sustainable to run. Hope to see you there!

Seconded.

I think I've seen that Honda one around NYC. Had no clue what it was. It just looked like someone was riding a brief case and that's basically indeed what it is.

Looks interesting, thank you!
