if these guys just capture 1% of spend that's on AWS, Azure & Google Cloud they will still be very big.

FYI there are many women and nonbinary people on our team.

  • I wanted to work at Oxide until I realized I would not be a fit for yall's culture.

    I could not work at a place where I would be corrected for praise of an accomplishment or working under the fear of misapplying a generally accepted term. The inability to include those who have different opinions by accepting different accents or euphemisms.

  • did I mention men or women or non-binary ?

    this is political grand-standing or political correctness that leads to nowhere.

    did I precede my statement with I'm a black cis-gendered man who likes women and more women ?

    honestly some things have to stop.

Yes but is that likely?

  • We want out of AWS. HPE can't fill the gap now. These guys have a good chance of getting considered.

  • We're racking hardware right now to move off the cloud providers and but it's just a (small tens-of-millions-of-dollars) test run to start so we didn't want to complicate things by learning anything Oxide-specific, but they are certainly on the radar as the vendor for a larger rollout.

  • With the major issues with the big cloud providers these days as well as high costs, I’d say there’s a decent shot. Their investors certainly think so.
