And now I am sad because I've never met a person like you, even if many other people told me that I am exactly such a kind of guy -- a tinkerer and a critical thinker who rejects some of the status quo and is seeing it as the bad mess that it is and doesn't pretend otherwise. I completely agree about Hashicorp btw. They are for me one perfect embodiment of the philosophy you outlined: they challenge the current preconceived notions and are severely pushing back against too much complexity. Same for clarity in communication. Thinking about it, in my 19.5 years of career, I spent the last 3-4 much more in improving my articulation than improving my programming. The latter kind of started happening automatically due to the former. Felt quite pleasantly surprised by that. So, thank you for existing, really. The world needs more people like you.
