Nice to see a soft landing for this worthwhile project.

EDIT: disregard the above, that this was a careless misunderstanding of the title. TFA says "Sandstorm, for its part, remains an independent entity, and I won’t be working on it during my day job at Cloudflare. However, I will be working on Cap’n Proto."

The people behind Sandstorm are joining Cloudflare and will now have less time to spend on Sandstorm. That's sad, because I was excited in general behind the idea of Sandstorm, and I hope it continues to be worked on, even if it's just during the weekend.

Hi all, I'm not sure how responsive I'll be able to be on this thread since I'm in orientation today. :)

But, here's the things I expect to be repeating a lot:

- Sandstorm is still an independent company, under control of Jade and myself.

- Sandstorm is "my baby" and I'm not going to stop working on it just because I have a day job. Yes, it will slow down a bit -- but on the bright side, we were previously spending the vast majority of our time trying to figure out enterprise sales (rather than actually building cool features), and we don't have to do that anymore. So, the difference may not be as big as you'd think. See: https://sandstorm.io/news/2017-02-06-sandstorm-returning-to-...

- Nevertheless I'm pretty excited about the work I'll be doing at Cloudflare as well -- which includes Cap'n Proto and other fascinating infrastructure tech.

Oh boy. I guess that's it for Sandstorm.

No. Sandstorm is "my baby" and I'm not going to stop working on it just because I have a day job.

I hope as your work life evolves this statement holds true. Congrats and good luck, and thanks for the code.
