I have had quite a few emails form Heroku telling me to move my stuff.

Heroku's warning emails are how I found out two things:

- That I'm still the administrative contact for a former employer's production environment.

- That my former employer is using a free tier for its public-facing web site.

Ethically, I should let the company know is web site is about to go offline. But it's a start-up run like a fiefdom and the founder tells all departing employees that if they contact anyone at the company, he'll sic the (imaginary) lawyers on them.



That's hilarious; I'd heavily encourage you to remove this comment, just in case the lawyers turn out to be real. :)
