   First they ignore you,

   Then they laugh at you,

   Then they fight you,

   Then you win

   Then local datacenters move to the cloud

   Then you don’t keep up with Amazon

   Then you exit to IBM

   Then you get used to shovel IBM garbage onto customers

   Then you become an irrelevant footnote like vmware and Sun.

   Early 2000s red hat was wild and I was glad to be there. I’m still the ‘mikem’ in /etc/sudoers in RHEL and Amazon Linu.
