> The controversial worldviews such as multi-cloud that we founded this company on are now mainstream and broadly accepted.
Emm .. no. It is not mainstream. Multi-cloud may be forced choice for some regulated fintech, but no sane project will double the infra codebase just to get from "lock-in". I see no other benefits. And double the codebase is quadruple the bugs. This is main Terraform's sales pitch, and it has to die. IMHO.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
IC?
Integrated Circuit. Insatiable Craving. Irrevocable Crust. Indifferent Creator. Ignatios of Constantinople. Instigating Crime. Irritating C**. Individual Contributor. Your guess is as good as mine!
Mitchell is the only person I can think of who went through the cycle of tinkerer/IC -> founder -> CXO and then back to IC in his own company. Also, his writings on Zig has been tremendously helpful for someone like me who is curious about it. Huge respect from a fellow IC!

Honestly feels a bit like the end of another great company - Chef (Adam Jacob). Great tooling, built with great engineers but business realities forced it to take some unfortunate turns. I hope Hashicorp will manage to find its stride and not end up as some bullet point in a long "solutions" portfolio of some software conglomerate. And thank you Mitchell for all the work. Can't wait to see what is coming next from yo…

I can't speak to the "great company" part but Adam (and co's) current endeavor may interest you: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=tru... tl;dr = https://github.com/systeminit/si#readme
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.
