Literally *everything* that happens in your cloud provider are things that we did, professionally, in datacenters, before there was a cloud provider. You can do them. It's not magic. You might choose not to! Which is great. I choose not to! But it's not because we can't. :)

Never take advice from someone who hasn't achieved the thing they're advising about. Incredibly underrated hack.

Most people agree that if you've only ever worked at sub-50 person startups, there's a steep learning curve to be in a bigCo. What astounds me is how few people understand the opposite. Just because you've led teams of 200 does NOT mean you're ready for a whole company of 10.

While your sensitive data and info are precious, people across DevSecOps and beyond all just want to know WHO to talk to. That information doesn't need to be a secret. hubs.li/Q01H63kq0

One of the hardest parts of being a CEO is trying to avoid sending people random ideas on Slack all day.

Some people, perhaps most people, don't mind being told what to do. But I have never met a successful startup CEO I'd say that of.
