knoxa2511 | 5 years ago | on: SaaS Needs a Single Point of Purchase

The cloud providers are trying to solve this problem - more and more of our customers are purchasing through the marketplace. It allows them to drive down spend commitments to AWS, GCP, etc - it's a pretty good experience all around and enables usage based pricing + easy collections. Which is something all startups hate dealing with.

knoxa2511 | 7 years ago | on: The rise and fall of the skills gap

Factfullness, one of the best books on Bill Gates summer reading list covers "the gap instinct"

Factfulness is . . . recognizing when a story talks about a gap, and remembering that this paints a picture of two separate groups, with a gap in between. The reality is often not polarized at all. Usually the majority is right there in the middle, where the gap is supposed to be.

To control the gap instinct, look for the majority.

Beware comparisons of averages. If you could check the spreads you would probably find they overlap. There is probably no gap at all.

Beware comparisons of extremes. In all groups, of countries or people, there are some at the top and some at the bottom. The difference is sometimes extremely unfair. But even then the majority is usually somewhere in between, right where the gap is supposed to be.

The view from up here. Remember, looking down from above distorts the view. Everything else looks equally short, but it’s not.

I've worked with 200-300 K8s customers and 30-40 openshift customers.

On K8s I typically see somewhere in the low 20s as the number of pods per node.

Openshift I'll see high 20s or low 30s as the average number of pods across most openshift customers. But we're seeing some crazy numbers for some larger enterprise customers. 100,400,2500 pods per node. This seems to be driven by the way openshift is licensing

The latter is an absolute nightmare to support, and they seem to have trouble organizing internally as well.
