Justin Frankel Resigns From Nullsoft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-a-waste dept.

Mwongozi was one of many readers to note that "the NY Times is reporting Justin's resignation from Nullsoft, and more details can be found in his weblog. One has to wonder whether this has anything to do with the WASTE fiasco."

    I kinda thought it was a given it had to do with waste...
    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)
    Seems pretty straightforward to me.

    I think about 500 people came up with that at about the same time. It's funny but it's not that clever. Do you work in the amazon.com patent department?

    It has to do with more than just WASTE. He stated that the company controls what he does and that coding is a form of free expression to him. He basically doesn't want the company to control his free expression. WASTE is just one example.

    Not just WASTE... sounds like you agree with the parent then, which stated:

    This has everything to do with WASTE and any other projects that AOL canned.

  4. Waste Reborn? by dolbywan_kenobi · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Can it be inferred from his resignation that Waste can be used? Will Nullsoft poste Waste again? Stay tuned. Same Slash-time. Same Slash-channel.

    ...to be able to up and quit a comfy job like that.

    Most people don't have that luxury.
