“What the monetization strategy of Ghostty?”
“My monetization strategy is that my bank account has 10 digits in it…” lol, epic.
- losvedir 10mo agoHa. That counts the cents, though, I assume? I didn't think Hashicorp was that big, right?
- nodesocket 10mo agoShockingly I believe billionaire with a B. They timed the acquisition nearly perfect in terms of market conditions. Tres comma club!!!
- bombcar 10mo agoLoving the idea that he got a bank transfer for $1b and it’s still just sitting there in his checking account.
- nodesocket 10mo agoI would assume it's not sitting in his checking account. He hopefully has wealth advisors; earning interest, investments, tax strategies. Mitchell is super smart, so almost certainly not sitting in a checking account.
- Romario77 10mo agoHashicorp was sold for 6.5B to IBM. Another thing - when it went public it was valued at 13B and Hashimoto owned 8.5% of it according to the filing. So, depending on when he sold or converted his shares it is pretty plausible that he got a billion.

What’s the monetization strategy?” The monetization strategy is that my bank account has 3 commas mate.
