So many great memories.
Mitchell handles criticism extremely well.

My take away from the comments is that people who don't work on autonomous cars better understand what it takes to bring an autonomous car to market than the people who do work autonomous cars.

Okay, since @sogrady is a pal, here are my thoughts on IBM buying Hashicorp. First - congratulations to all my Hashicorp people - it's an incredible accomplishment to have built a company like that, and a crazy thing to have someone value what you built at $4B+. Congratulations.

Investing should be a way to get ahead, not get by.
What would happen if we lowered the top US income tax rate to 20%, and raised the tax on all capital gains to 40%. Wouldn't this benefit most Americans and small business owners who tend to recognize profits as ordinary income?
A bit of cognitive dissonance that everyone just accepts is that no one thinks Waymo or Cruise are trillion dollar opportunities but if Tesla says “robotaxi” then investors lose their minds.

Is this true? Waymo doesn't have a working AI model? I understand the need for remote intervention, but is it all smoke and mirrors?

META should have announced a robotaxi based on Llama 3.

I... would absolutely pull basically a complete 180 in my assessment of IBM if they were to do this. It'd be the most interesting / relevant thing they could do, which is exactly why I'd bet they won't. But I would absolutely love to see it.

I want to highlight a thing that’s very real: when folks (me, you) are pontificating about why something happened one way or another, we’re almost always wrong when we’re talking about folks motivations. Mitchell’s reasons for not doing state encryption belong to him!
@adamhjk I listened to this one! Just a couple points from me: You said I didn't like Chef! That's not true and I hope I never said that. I used Chef for at least 3 years before I started using Puppet (and for about the same amount of time). You know better than anyone that Chef was the…
@kelseyhightower I listened to your recent keynote as well. The story about confd and consul-template was spot on, exactly how I remember it as well. 🤗 Recalling inviting you on stage for the employee photo made me a bit emotional, that was an absolutely awesome time.
Do I want to pay more taxes? No. But come on. Don't act like we never tax assets that go up in value before people sell them. We do it a lot.
We already have an unrealized capital gains tax, and it's already about 2%. Someone bought this house in Austin for ~$380K. But the tax assessor now values the asset at $752K. So they're taxing it at ~1.4% of $752K!😭 Now the owner is trying to sell it. zillow.com/homedetails/67…
Side bar I’ve started to noticed once a house is over 2500 to 3000 sqft people don’t know how to properly furnish a house. Rooms become big rooms with furniture that doesn’t match.

@kelseyhightower @Earl_Suminda @brainiac6996 It absolutely isn't. It's like asking if a 95% SLA is the same as a 99.995% SLA Source: I use both.

@theurbandev @kelseyhightower But back to the question of being for or against it. I’m all for it. I just don’t think the tech is gonna take us as far as many seem to think it will. I’m sad about that. I’d LOVE a fully autonomous car. I just don’t think it’s coming in under 10 years. Likely much longer.
@kelseyhightower There is a Dutch saying; the best helmsmen are on shore.
It's the time of the year when people want to believe and invest in promises of the future no matter how shaky they make look under scrutiny.
@kelseyhightower And when you extend that to insider threats like employees, you realize that you can't trust any code.
@kelseyhightower Right now dividends are taxed as income. So that is why companies tend to do buybacks. Flip the taxes and they’ll flip too.
@kelseyhightower Shoot, probably shouldn’t even fully trust the code we write ourselves 😅 I have to be vigilant even with my own code! Certainly had more than one “what was I thinking?” or “ooh, my thinking wasn’t clear there” 🙏
So congratulations all around! It's a tidy solution to the problems, takes a bunch of risk off the table for the business, and gets the shareholders paid at a price that's better than its been since basically mid 2022.
The primary business issue, I think, lives in two things: the huge amount of value received by users of Terraform, Vault, Consul, and Nomad for $0, and the relatively low ASP they do extract (they do better than Chef or Puppet did!)
