San Francisco is such a joke. Gone for 45 minutes. Nothing in the car. Come back to glass all over my kid’s car seat. To file a police report (for the stats, since crime isn’t actually down): call the police, don’t pick up, call again…

Expectations today are that companies become larger, faster. International exposure is a major growth driver for companies that want to continue to beat expectations and for entrepreneurs who want to build global leaders.

We @GeodesicCap talk about it constantly, but in the wake of the events of the last few months, enterprise cloud adoption has accelerated. Digital transformation isn't a new trend but it's crazy how this is just the beginning.

Very few diagnose, learn, iterate, and execute faster than @suryaoruganti . Keep an eye on @WarpBuilds.
The last week was fantastic for @WarpBuilds - we saw all time high usage (again), and also introduced new github actions runner sizes - up to 32 vCPU (looking at you rustaceans 🦀) with even better performance!. - 2, 4, 8, 16, 32x instances on arm64.- 2, 4, 8, 16, 32x instances

@chriszeoli $8b run rate of a company that did $126b last year (and acq’d for $26b). It’s a nice biz but could be so much better if MSFT put emphasis on it. People use out of necessity, not love. Anecdotally, Instagram generated $20b rev in 2019 (+100%) of FB’s $71b 🤯 (and act’d at $1b).

@michelletandler Legendary political move. Frame it as for education since only monsters would say no, give them the “option” to “do the right thing”, shame them when they don’t, score ongoing political points that you fight for the masses. When you could spend there to start.

I've had the chance to watch Ozan Unlu and @yildiz build an A+ org at @edge_delta for over a year. The team is fundamentally improving monitoring and observability. Today, @QuietCapital is excited to lead the $63m Series B.
We have big news! Edge Delta raised a $63M Series B to deliver observability without compromise. This funding will help us continue pushing observability upstream to the data source. Observability starts with Edge Delta and we’re just getting started.

Curious how many companies include #digitaltransformation as strategic priority in upcoming investor updates. COVID has shown unforeseen threats to all businesses globally. Infrastructure for remote work, even if just as backup, will be req’d for business resilience.

Understanding the trade-offs between spending for growth & minimizing cash outlay is more important today than any time in the last decade. Visualizing the impact of a downturn on both top & bottom lines is challenging so I created a simplified breakdown.

If you aren’t kind to founders or don’t even take the time to reply, and then have a junior person cold email them after they announce a splashy round, don’t be offended when they tell you to go🖕yourself. Founders don’t forget….

We’re almost a year into ChatGPT being publicly available and a lot has happened. A lot of noise but pay attention to use case developments and user/usage retention. Still pretty unclear which products are sustainable until they prove it. Particularly with AI rate of change.

As national debt stacks and taxable income drops, the only logical and viable way out is to grow (or cut national spending, which we know won’t happen). Repealing Section 174 is a sure fire way to hinder innovation and growth and ensure pain for years to come.

My prediction as an investor @GeodesicCap is once the dust settles, the adoption of DevOps, SaaS, cloud or hybrid infrastructure, automation - anything that can be bucketed as #digitaltransformation - will accelerate from pre-COVID levels because it will be a top down priority.

Do we think investor enthusiasm for software companies has fallen or investor enthusiasm for software company valuations has fallen? It's seemingly the only category (including AI) where valuations haven't fallen off a cliff (and they've still fallen a lot). @EricNewcomer
