Chef

But then I, I, I left the, you know, the just the open source and I, and one... my first two startups and, and went to work at Microsoft, and that's where I really got into, like, enterprise software, and I was doing a bunch of, like, Linux stuff for them e-even then as they were building out, you know, their own Linux strategy, and so many folks were working on it.

Then went off to do my other-- my, my third startup and, and came back out, and I joined Amazon, who was very, very big in, in Linux at the time, and then Chef, who obviously has an enormous, enormously successful open source platform.

I, you know, was always a big fan of it because the idea of, like, how you bring people together is so powerful around software, and software is one of the most collaborative things you can experiences in the world.

Like, you can take a pull request from anyone in the world, and it, it's just as good.

He's famous for being the founder

of Chef

and maybe infamously being the founder of Chef.

If he was here, he'd probably be laughing at this moment.

But he created a company called System Initiative.

I've done all the hyperscalers.

I worked at Google, Amazon, Microsoft twice, Chef.

And then I also did four startups.

I'm on my fourth one now.

Lots of people, when they go out and pitch, they're like, we're going to be the next entropic.

And Rory O'Driscoll, who was on my board at Chef once post made a post that was like, stop saying that shit.

You will not be entropic.

There are plenty of great outcomes for you.
