#6Can someone provide on ELI5 for what this company does and how it's different? I get that its goal is to allow folks to buy instead of rent their hardware, but how is it different from the old days of buying servers? Are they trying to offer folks AWS or Azure quality servers for purchase? Or am I just totally missing this?

#7As a mere mortal, I am more interested in their podcast than their products. :)
Hopefully, they will produce more episodes in the future: https://oxide.computer/podcast/

#8I'm really curious as to what Oxide's plans are who are they selling servers to – individuals or companies? Is the plan to build your own data center or is it to throw a few of their servers in a collocated spot? Who is the competition, cloud providers, VMWare, something else?
Anyways, good luck at your new job it sounds really exciting!

So, I was trying to keep this post short and to the point, but if you want a longer description, straight from the mouth of one of the founders, you may like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvZA9n3e5pc

I think "quality" doesn't really capture 100% of it, but in a sense, yes. The goal is extremely quality, performant, robust servers.
I will have to delegate the details to the above talk; I have a bunch of work to get started on, and would just end up re-typing out what it says above, ha!

#10@steveklabnik: Just out of curiosity, did it not work out at Cloudflare? Seems like a rather short stint.
