I found it interesting that this was the focus when users of Vercel etc. have probably decided against k8s already. For me, a k8s comparison would make sense if this was a platform for running containers/VMs in a more traditional serve

I'm a little confused about which DAM use cases this solves today, and which ones are next. Devs often do not understand the details or complexity of the use cases you are dealing with and can't work out how to slot this project i

I don't think there is much vision or editorial control. Anyone with an idea can seemingly produce content for these platforms and it almost always falls short. How do you position this video content versus documentation? Anecdotally,

Is that how they are handling any of the Swift UI work for Arc (their browser)? I think they are 100% focused on bringing the Swift compiler etc. over and leaving all UX to the Windows UI (WinUI lib?) so that they have a native experience o
