Oxide builds servers (as they should be)

from Changelog Interviews

Today we have a special treat: Bryan Cantrill, co-founder and CTO of Oxide Computer! You may know Bryan from his work on DTrace. He worked at Sun for many years, then Oracle, and finally Joyent before starting Oxide. We dig deep into their company's mission/principles/values, hear how it it all started with a VC's blank check that turned out to be anything but, and learn how Oxide's integrated approach to hardware & software sets them up to compete with the established players by building servers as they should be.
