      \\n
    • What Heptio actually does: \\u201cthe company chose a unique path of not quite product company, and not quite full service company, but borrowing elements of both. This fit the market need in many cases, but posed significant challenges from a marketing and messaging standpoint, as the market understands product companies and service companies but is less comfortable with descriptions that don\\u2019t entirely fit into either bucket.\\u201d
      • \\n
    • \\u201cNone of [the open source tools developers love(d) so much] concerned VMware particularly, because as its early developer attention waned its popularity within the operations side of the house \\u2013 and central IT in particular \\u2013 boomed. Which has been good for the company generally as central IT has historically been less concerned both about software being open source and being free than developers, which has led to VMware becoming an enterprise datacenter standard which in turn led to its current $60.7B market cap \\u2013 a valuation roughly double that of Red Hat\\u2019s, for context.\\u201d

  • Jay from Ohio wrote in to get six stickers for his DevOps team. He tells us \\u201cI usually listen at 1.75x speed, and accidentally put you guys on at 1.0x and Cot\\xe9\'s semi-coherent monologues turned into the drunk uncle that I wish I had.
