Layoffs at Cypress.io
# general-chat
a
I realize that Cypress (the tool) is open-source, but is anyone concerned about the future of the Cypress ecosystem given the recent layoffs happening at Cypress.io? I saw employees listing a bunch of options for sale to qualified investors on LinkedIn - overall just a sort of scary vibe, so I'm curious to hear others' thoughts. Just keep developing on Cypress until things look really bad?

ha, I guess that was me and I am not an employee of the company
e
I wouldn't be worried at all. Lots of people using it and it's open source.

It was you. I guess you have leftover options from when you were an employee.
g
ughh, don't even get me started

Hey, I've been giving you $10/month on Github, but then you give it all away to some climate fund. If you kept that money, you could have claimed more of those options! 😛
Btw I paused those bc Github is ending support for Paypal, and their CC form throws errors, so for now - NO MONEY FOR GLEB.
But I deeply appreciate all that you do and I'll resume support when Github payment processing starts working again.

I really appreciate it. Yeah, if I could make a living doing just OSS and my own thing, I would. But yeah, as long as I can afford it, donating to climate organizations is one thing I can do, and i think it matters
