When Matt told me he was interviewing JS I was infuriated that he hadn't invited me along. However since we share but one brain, I feel like I was there too. It's a fantastic interview and makes me realize that companies that seem as screwy as Sun still have a lot of life left in them. Best quote: What's the business model? I don't know. But if you don't have adoption, it won't matter what business model you use

When Matt told me he was interviewing JS I was infuriated that he hadn’t invited me along. However since we share but one brain, I feel like I was there too.

It’s a fantastic interview and makes me realize that companies that seem as screwy as Sun still have a lot of life left in them.

Best quote:

What’s the business model? I don’t know. But if you don’t have adoption, it won’t matter what business model you use. Companies that sell open source are prioritizing community and adoption over instant monetization. We will win.
