There was once Pebble.

They went out of business and their assets went up for sale.

Then guess who buys some of their assets and keeps some of that dev goodness alive?

Yes, Fitbit.

"Principal Software Engineer, Fitbit, Inc."

Common practice here is to disclose that when making comments...

You can find many examples in my comment history where I mention that I work for but don't speak for Fitbit. I don't feel it's necessary to mention it for extremely basic fact correction as in this case. The details of what was and wasn't acquired are public and widely known.
