This sounds extremely cool. I won't be leaving my current job anytime soon (hopefully), but the list of people involved is impressive! Just curious, why did Marcello and Paul leave your company?

Quixey is a great place to work, and I learned a lot working there. My main reason for leaving was that I wanted to be able to devote more time and mental energy to some of my own thoughts and projects.

Is this code for "burnt out from 80 hour weeks" ?

I didn't leave due to burn-out.
