We've gone full circle! I originally launched Vagrant here on HN in 2010, which was at the top of HN very briefly for the day. Now here I am 14 years later witnessing my departure post in that very same spot. A strange experience! Thanks for the support over the years. A lot of the initial community for the projects I helped start came from here.

Congrats on what you've accomplished here. Building an industry-standard company and then carefully planning your exit on your own terms is a huge win.

I (selfishly) hope whatever is next is still hacker adjacent, bc your work has been a big inspiration to a lot of us. Best of luck to you!

It is interesting to see how hashicorp went from an underdog company with vagrant to a company to aspire for with terraform, nomad, consul, vault to something that orgs and community dread, all within a decade. Standards that they have set are still industry wide relevant. But you can see they are on a negative path.

This is a weird take. If anything, Nomad, Consul and Vault are on the ascent, as the realities of the CNCF ecosystem set in for people with results to deliver.

My first major foss was heavily based around Vagrant (PuPHPet). It was a joy building on top of your tooling to make web engineers lives easier. Thank you for your work, it was great while it lasted!

Some of my first OSS work was also based on Vagrant (https://github.com/ezekg/tj). I eventually turned that into a commercial desktop app, built on top of that CLI project. Ultimately, the project didn't work out, but it was a big step in my open source and entrepreneurial journey.

ty, mitchellh!
