Re: HashiCorp – S1
#122I love HCP tools, especially the "lesser known" ones like Vagrant and Nomad. Bearish on the now-public company, though. I think they grew too fast and the leadership will squeeze revenue out of their current headline "cloud glue" products (Terraform, Vault, Consul) without having incentive to push their other products. Nomad in particular has a ton of potential but why push it when you can just provide services to en…
> Was major Roblox outage Nomad-related
They haven't posted a detailed post-mortem yet but it's more likely consul related that in-turn brought down vault and nomad.

#123Congrats to the team! Slightly off-topic, if I wanted to buy some HashiCorp's stocks as a non-US resident, what would be my best options? Any good services allowing me to do that somehow, legally and easily?
Try out Interactive Brokers. They seem to serve a lot of non-USA customers. Disclosure: A happy USA user.

#124Holly mother of God. Mitchell was still on HN yesterday, as he was replying something about Backblaze IPO and its business. Today it is his IPO, $259 million revenue. 2100+ Customers, 1500+ employees, $10 Billion Valuation......... I mean I felt it wasn't that long ago Vagrant was "the" tool for the job.

If that’s $260M pa for 1500 employees then that works out as $40k revenue per employee per quarter. Compare with APPL and FB doing [correction: over $600k] per employee per quarter. Not a value judgment. But I only recently started noticing these numbers and it really puts the big players’ spending power into perspective. Hiring engineers away from FAANG is incredibly expensive. Edit: thanks for the corrections in th…
I think a lot of startups could be a little more lean than they are right now.

That seems to be changing, as the employees at those companies are starting to re-evaluate the ethical choice of staying or leaving a company they thought was "good".

#126Earlier quoted context omitted.
Docker at this point is just a wrapper around OCI spec… why would you go back to Vagrant rather than just using any of the other tools that can build OCI images? Vagrant and Docker seem like fundamentally different tools to me.
At least 80% of Docker's value to me is as a consistent-everywhere, very complete server daemon package manager. Serious packages for work? They're there, and up-to-date. Screwing-around stuff for home (Minecraft server, Jellyfin, et c.)? It's all there, same interface, just a couple minutes to add and configure another daemon at approximately its latest version, and I don't even have to think about which distro I'm…
I wonder what sort of container registry are you looking for. There are a few alternatives to Docker Hub nowadays. For instance, GCP’s is quite affordable and straightforward.

#127Lots of interesting tidbits in here, not least that Armon Dadgar, who basically built most of the their revenue generating software, is paid considerably less than their CRO.
Also interesting to learn that a CRO is a thing. I swear there is a new C-level title invented every few seconds.
It turns out that Revenue is important, which means that there is a C level role to make sure that a company's revenue outlook is good.
Re: HashiCorp – S1
#128Awesome, I'm excited for this. Does anyone know of any services where I could add HashiCorp to a watchlist and get an email notification before/after their IPO? (I'm sure I'll see it on HN or other sites but I want to make sure I don't miss it.)
Webull is pretty solid

>Compare with APPL and FB doing $2.5M per employee per quarter.
your math if off - FB is $500K/employee/quarter, APPL is ~600K/employee/quarter. That still of course a boatload of money allowing them to pay $600K+/year to the engineers.

Does this account for how much those companies offload to contractors / staffing agencies?
