One of those drink all night in Nyc with @IanAndrewsDC kind of nights kids
RT @sakacc: @wattersjames pretty base formula: stay true to what u believe + avoid politics like the plague + don't be a doink + like being proven wrong
One thing to do would be to spend a week in NYC helping lots of large organizations transform with @cloudfoundry uniting dev and ops
RT @swardley: The 'war' on PaaS is almost over, CloudFoundry won, just quite a number of people are denial.<-NYC knows, its over here
“@ahe23: nice to leave meetings and get a thank you text from customer as they enjoyed the convo so much? @cloudfoundry = disruptive” <-boom
RT @bpatrick001: The most important innovation ecosystems in cloud: @OpenStack @cloudfoundry and @awscloud <-truth!
Wow the other IPO shocker is that @newrelic spends 96% of budget on marketing! My kingdom for a heavy R&D company IPO...
Wow the other IPOD shocker is that @newrelic spends 96% of budget on marketing! My kingdom for a heavy R&D company IPO...
“@LusciousPear: @kmbannerman @wattersjames Hahahahaha what? Hortonworks? ROFL.” <-explain?
RT @kmbannerman: So @newrelic and @hortonworks file for IPO today. Who's next up, predictions?
Congrats to @hortonworks friends on the IPO, great news for OSS companies; but product revenue shockingly small: https://gigaom.com/2014...
RT @sundeep: PaaS is the accelerant commoditizing IaaS cc @cloudfoundry https://gigaom.com/2014...

“@christianve: Between integrated #PaaS and a collection of tools, make the right choice #cloudsource http://t.co/S1TnOQ4m6t” <-HP's take
Motivated people will only work for motivated people.
The negative thesis on large companies is that they are where people go exclusively to avoid the pressures of finding new patterns to grow
LFMAO if you haven't realized that all corporate management and growth is just about finding patterns the world wants to replicate
The problem with organizations over 10 in size, is that they primarily exist to decide who gets credit.
LMFAO if you aren't noticing that increasingly uServices platforms require the inclusion of client libraries per language
You can play that @Kasparov63 quote the Kafka way, his quote is that humans cling tightly to the world, while the world holds onto nothing
Oh man I love that @Kasparov63 quote about minds vs computers, harder thing for AI to have would be irrational emotions mixed into logic
RT @Kasparov63: "The human mind is not a computer and our powers of calculation cannot be isolated from our emotions. That is why chess is a sport."
RT @kelseyhightower: I'm sure that container management system you wrote is going to be awesome! https://twitter.com/kelseyh...

RT @swardley: The whole 'Docker is your PaaS' could ultimately undermine the value of Docker through exploitation by snake oil charlatans.
