How did Hashi corp make money (and an eventual billion dollar plus IPO!) developing open source tools like vagrant, consul and terraform...
Clearly the creator of ruff is going to expand from an open source tool into a company focusing on Python tooling and developer experience, services, etc. There is a market for stuff like that just based on pycharm and jet brains' success in the space alone.
- nwellnhof 3y agoHashiCorp made a $270 million loss last year, more than 50% of their revenue.
