Justin Cormack @justincormack.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Er, you missed open source. We went from writing software from scratch to building software 95% out of open source components, for a 20x speedup, after that. 2372

Justin Cormack @justincormack.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Docker revenue did not come from registry it was purely for Desktop. Most customers were using Artifactory etc for production stuff. We did spend a bunch of time discussing buying Tidelift when they were for sale and it could have been a great fit in some ways. 000
