They make giant rack scale computers for data centers, i think that's the best way to explain it quickly to someone with my background who's never been in a data center but has an imaginary idea of what they look like. And then as

Fwiw I feel like their components are something I'd be less likely to want to pay for now that you can generate tailwind components so easily with ai. I guess now that I think of it I actually paid for them back when it was called Tail
