People said yes, I think several have gone.
The "About us" is way shorter that it used to be and I have been told it is not up to date anymore (several of the people already working in other place as per their profile in LinkedIn)

Wow! @Chris-Maunder it's a surprise, but I guess 25 years is a long time in one job, and anyone is going to get kinda stale after that.
Whatever you do, I hope it's good for you, and remember that we will miss your guiding hand enormously. Thanks for setting the site up, there is a whole generation of developers that has benefited from what you created.
And just remember, Dilbert got there first: Departure notice[^]

This sort of explains the complete lack of feedback to all the users asking where their newsletters are. But the real question we now need answering is, "Is CodeProject about to close down?".

Yeah... my heads up was all the messages about missing newsletter of the insider...
I would have found it better if they had done an annoucement with a sticky message in the lounge or at least in the B&S Forum, most of us are here over a decade too and have worked with the guys through a lot of situations.
A proper good bye to all of us usual CPians would have been more than justified.
I have only found a bit of info in people leaving, but nothing on what's going to be from now on with the site. And I am really sad about it, it doesn't show much respect for us the users.

@chris-maunder Code Project changed my life in major ways. Very few things, besides the birth of a child, have done that in my life. So thank you and the team for incarnating Code Project and my best wishes to your family and finding wellness and balance. I hope everything is OK.

Ohhh that's sad.
Well deserved retirement from the zoo keeping tasks.
Been here 23+ years; I feel old.

Chris...
Wishing you and your family all the best.
Hopefully, the Code Project Team will replace you with a professional as equally talented...

The guilt and attachment about quitting is stressing her. I get it, I never left a company, I left friends and workers. But I see the same cancer in my thought process from 30 years ago raging through her, and this is her first job. When I was trying to decide to retire my "boss" actually very very good friend told me, "You don't worry about billion dollar corporations. We're too old for that sh*t."
So, you youngsters I'm telling you now, you live in a mercenary world. Don't forget it. Avoid buying into this corporate "we're all family" bull$hit. As soon as you can, start your own business.
Going to stop now. I'm angry.

I agree. But we're all young and stupid at least once.

Amen. Corporate is not your friend; they are there to extract the maximum they can from you with minimum compensation.

This is not necessarily true. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur, and not everyone is cut out to run a business. However, if one remains an employee, be mindful of my previous comment.
Tell your daughter that leaving employment is a business decision, and emotion should play no part in it. If the business would collapse without her input, she should either be paid a (lot!) more than she currently is, or the owner(s) should be looking to recruit additional experts in her field. If the business cannot afford to employ additional experts, perhaps it has no economic justification. In any case, it is not her concern!

Neither is HR, even though they'll claim otherwise.
Why would any company pay people to place their employees' interests above their own?

While this is true, emotions definitely play into these decisions.
