#142Their symbol is hcp instead of hash, what a shame.
I would have preferred HCL
There is a HCL in IT services industry.

#143Don’t understand why anyone would need their cloud products. Who needs Terraform or Nomad or Vault as a service?
If you are operating at a scale small enough where a single person is responsible for applying Terraform, and there are never two or more users interleaving applies which could collide, then you don't need TF cloud.
If on the other hand, you have multiple devs, committing changes, and applying them, then you need something like TF to ensure that the applies are consistent, ordered, and auditable.
For personal use? You don't need TF cloud, but the problems it solves get obvious as you scale up.

That seems… cynical. The sorts of processes and. Management needed for a larger company are different than those at a small one. You need more process. There’s no way around it.
I mean, Jeff Bezos's company became somewhat large while being managed like a startup on its first day.
I haven't worked at Amazon or anything, but I'm pretty sure that is a lie they tell themselves to make them feel better.

Is that the pattern of other IPOs? I've seen lots of 'lockup expiry' fud that never materialized. No sudden dump of employee shares.

I don't know a single person who prefers HCL over literally anything else, but still, it's a happy day for them so I won't air my entitled little complaints and instead say: thank you hashicorp! You made life as a cloud infra beard better for a while, and I wish you all success going onwards.
Way better than CDK.

The only thing I don't like about HCL is that there are not enough good libraries for me to use it as the configuration language in all of my projects. I love HCL.
HCL 2 anyway.
