Did technical sales and developer evangelism for a while to get some variety after my last web dev job. I'm hoping to get a purely backend, systems-y position this time around!

The Solarwinds brand isn't as flashy as the Pingdom brand. It makes sense that they'd want to maintain as much independence as possible until they decide whether to eat it or not.

Hi, I'm the author! Yep, you're correct - I ended up cutting some explanation at the beginning, and that means it makes less sense if you don't already know how appropriations work. (I have a poli sci degree, so I'm not that lucky.)

This is part of the reason why 'what to shut down' is a complicated question. For example, some sites remained up even though the main portal linking to them went down, so you could only access them if you knew about it already. Other sites were able to stay up in entirety, but froze support/updates for everything but a few critical portions.
