The Big Themes:
- Living up to the hype: Whether you’re talking about cloud applications, or cloud infrastructure, it’s a huge accelerator.
- Put it in a giant backpack: You just carry it over to the public cloud and empty it out. But if you’re a brand-new company with no legacy, that works pretty well because your backpack’s empty.
- It took 17 seconds for everyone to have a smartphone: The transition was easier – it was better. Everyone knows the cloud is better, but we’re at 15% market penetration.
- Not afraid of hard engineering problems: The thing about doing hard engineering is that when you get it wrong, it looks like a lot of egg on your face, but when you get it right, you build something truly magical.
