Wouldn't technically moving from hosting communities to having such a heavy involvement in their management be against the safe harbour protection?

Anecdotally, every interaction I or many friends had with IBM left a "is this the 90s" taste.
It feels super disorganized but it's still a big corp, "simple" dev position hard require a degree (like, their system just wouldn't let a friend submit their application because they didn't press the checkmark lol) - usually it's not a hard requirement in our local market. I'm still waiting 5 years later for the VP of the BU I was interviewing at to return from his vacation to "approve my hire" LOL (for all concerned I found work at a different company... But still amusing to think about that guy spending 5 years in vacation...).

Just examples, but feels like there's some internal process/management failures higher up the food chain. Their devs create pretty innovative things, then nothing is actually done with that lol.

Should have maybe sticked to their expertise and made a lotr point and click game, instead of trying to make a big RPG. 🤷🏽‍♀️
