Presuming that you are referring to me, I am definitely not a founder of Joyent! That said, my rationale for coming to Joyent was not at all unrelated to some of the parallels I saw in Sun[0] -- and it is probably worth reading my own farewell to Sun as well[1]. (Also, because I can't resist completing the arc into the present, see becoming an ex-Joyeur[2] and starting Oxide[3].)

- ayewo 4y agoMy bad! I must have equated your high profile association with Joyent with being a co-founder. Thanks for swinging by to make the correction!
- bcantrill 4y agoHa, no worries! You're not the first to make the assumption, so I wanted to be sure to clarify. ;) And thank you for pointing out Joyent's use of zones in production. Indeed, it was Joyent's use of zones that attracted me to the company, and not the other way around...
