Personally, I trusted the founders.
Having followed Mitchell Hashimoto’s work on Vagrant, I felt like he and Armon were truly value driven and not purely money oriented.
But it’s true, dollars corrupt and billions of dollars corrupt absolutely.
- robertlagrant 3y agoWhat are you talking about? Companies need to make money to pay people. Hashicorp made a net loss of $290m last year[0].

- steno132 3y agoIdeals are more important than money. And Hashicorp’s founders sacrificed ideals for the sake of billions.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI don't know what this actually means. Should Hashicorp's employees work for no money, because ideals are more important than money? Money is just necessary. It doesn't matter if other things are more important on some theoretical hierarchy. If you need a necessary thing then that's all that matters.
- dwaite 3y agoThere are innumerable bad ways to try to make money. I suspect this license change will turn out to be one of them.
- robertlagrant 3y agoShrug. Point is, wanting to make enough money to make a sustainable business isn't "money corrupting people".
