Nice! I especially like “it improves engineering skills” - if an organizations engineers are never doing anything new their skills stagnate.

Your HN handle been a pretty vocal ambassador of Pivotal/VMware Tanzu on a lot of threads that the employee-employer association has become permanent in my lizard brain, which is why I had to do a double-take when I read your comment [plus the fact that I'm up a bit late ...]

It only just dawned on me that you might have switched your employer allegiance to Shopify :)

I was vocally at Pivotal->VMware for a total of 7 years, so a reasonable enough association to form. I've been at Shopify for a little over a year now.

I see. Belated congrats on the new gig!

Thanks!
