Great that Mitchell evaded that fate by getting out of the leadership before controversial moves by Hashicorp started occurring. His legacy will be untainted.
Just a side thought, with all due respect: > 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…

> There is real value in being able to use the same tool to manage AWS/GCP/Azure/etc., Cloudflare, GitLab, VMware My bad, I did not define meaning of multi-cloud. I meant using AWS and GCP at the same time, doing mostly the same things, for redundancy and no lock-in. Still I prefer native IaaC tools, it is simpler, faster and more reliable. I'm AWS guy, so Cloudformation for all things infra. It irks me when I see Te…
Heh, I have mostly worked on AWS but we stopped using CloudFormation because the experience was so much worse than Terraform with the lengthy deploys, no diffs, significant time delays supporting new AWS features, and deadlocks. They’ve added diffs but turning debugging into a half hour or longer break is still a problem.
And chasing where the var value actually came from in TF drove me mad few times!

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!

Drop the “Hashi”. Just Corp. It’s cleaner. Jokes aside, it's an end of an era. Mitchell has always been one of my role models both as an amazing engineer and a really decent, humble human being. I'm really looking forward to other amazing things he's going to build.
ExVMwareCorp may work.
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.
Thanks for all the amazing work thus far!

Based on my limited experience Vault is actually becoming a niche tool. Big cloud players have been offering more limited solutions that are good enough for many if not most use cases. A few years ago as a consultant I'd unconditionally recommend Vault to my clients. If I were consulting today, I'd first ask what are they missing from KMS and Secrets Manager.
KMS? Secrets manager? Are those offered by a particular vendor or what
