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.

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!
The only other person I remember doing that is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Walker_(programmer) Btw. he published a great read on how they started Autodesk https://www.fourmilab.ch/autofile/e5/
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.
When you talk to Consul support engineers, they assume you're using kubernetes, and are confused if you tell them you're using Nomad, _a product that their company makes_.

> the GitHub Octoverse report found that HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) has once again emerged as one of the top languages used in open source projects "Hashicorp Configuration Language (HCL) with a 56,1% increase in popularity is the fastest-growing language according to GitHub" Fastest growing and "top" are not the same thing, but I have to assume that you know that @mitchellh. Embarrassed for you. https://…
I think this is a case where the citation bears out the claim, and there's no need for Mitchell to feel embarrassment.

Being on almost the opposite end of the software design, I haven’t yet had a good place to apply the tools you’ve built, but I’ve heard many nice things about them from practically everyone, including direct competitors. That says it all.
