At my first startup we used XMPP (wildfire?) to do a lot of our ops work.

All of our pet servers had a background process sitting in a chat room.

We did deploys, restarted process, got alerts, and a whole bunch of other stuff all via XMPP.

It was much cooler than our product that never made any money :)

> We believe building “Instagram Kids” is the right thing to do

No it’s fucking not, you morally corrupt sacks of garbage.

Honest question: Besides IT endpoint management, why does our industry continue to develop software that is leaning more and more towards containerization on Mac OS?

I’ve been a Mac user for 20 years and do a lot of docker and Kubernetes work. I recently started developing on a Linux machine that was a fourth of the price and a lot less burden for my day-to-day work.

Aside: is the username an Expanse reference?

Thanks for the reply. This is some great feedback. Our deck definitely has some future features and strategies in it, so if I go forward with the call I’ll definitely need to do some trimming down

This is all new to me so I’m not exactly sure what makes a firm large. There are 50 companies give or take in their portfolio. Less than 1b in the fund.
