David Crawshaw did not write this page.

Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. VMs are the wrong shape because they are tied to CPU/memory resources.
  2. You cannot solve the fundamental problems with cloud abstractions by building new abstractions on top.
  3. Agents, by making it easiest to write code, means there will be a lot more software.
