Refocusing Docker on developer-first and growth (Founders Talk #97)
This week Adam is joined by Scott Johnston, CEO of Docker. Scott shares his journey to the CEO role, how he's leading the company to not only grow revenue, but to also invest in developer facing features, their shift from a enterprise sales focus to a PLG driven model, and we even talk about Docker Desktop, the competition it faces, and the struggle they face when considering making it open source.
