From Aaron Swartz's wiki page

In the early fall of 2005, he worked with his fellow co-founders of another nascent Y-Combinator firm, Reddit, to rewrite its Lisp codebase using Python and web.py.

This is more than just "merging his company into Reddit".

Yeah, rewriting the entire project in a different language is a huge undertaking.

yeah thats working for a company but not founding it
