2021-02-11

This time I'm talking to an absolute legend: Mitchell Hashimoto, the CTO of HashiCorp the company behind a series of brilliant open source products (Terraform, Vault, Nomad, Vagrant) that are highly successful both business-wise and community-wise. I would even argue that HashiCorp is the only company that manages to do that.

We talk about:

The path from 7 to 1000+ employees in the last 10 years 📈📈📈
How Mitch is still able to be a very active Github user and contribute a lot of code while growing a big enterprise company to IPO
How to build successful open source projects
Where to draw the line in open core businesses
How to be able to prevent cloud providers from sucking your blood 🧛
