I can see that being given such an opportunity would be fantastic. As they say:

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Well, one example in the music business is the
notation program Sibelius
letting itself be acquired by Avid. Then Avid got into liquidity
problems and decided to bleed Sibelius dry for what it's worth, firing
all of the British development team
There's an interesting practical (if not moral) sequel to this, in that many of the
active Sibelius team were then hired by Steinberg to make a program to replace Sibelius,
called Dorico. I don't know how well it's doing commercially, but it's a
phenomenally impressive application technically. I can imagine (from the developers'
perspective) that being hired to surpass your own work, in a context in which that felt
like the just thing to do, could be very motivating.
