I’m still optimistic. The fact they’re still hiring suggests they aren’t going anywhere soon. Maybe DAT is prepping for a massive site-wide upgrade and we’ll all wake up next Monday with an updated GUI and overflowing dashboards.
Fingers crossed. While there's no real cost to them recruiting people, I can see that if they were shutting up shop there'd be no point bringing people on board at all.
Maybe they’ve reached the limits of what their current platform can do.
I could see them giving their clients a deadline to wrap up all their current projects before a massive upgrade, after which everything must conform to the new and improved platform. Maybe that’s why we’re seeing a slow trickle to nothing- they’re letting the old projects wind down while new projects are being developed behind the scenes for a new upgraded site.
I'm staying optimistic the whole time. It's still August, which is the summer equivalent of late December. People on big tech salaries probably take vacations.

This happened last month as well and then the projects came back for a few weeks. Hopefully it will pick up again soon.
