[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

As Jeff Bezos says "your margin is my opportunity". I often advise entrepreneurs that too high a take rate is a tradeoff between short term and long term strategy. Optimize for growth, scale & comeptition not short term margin.

[Greg Hamer @databasedDev]

Still true: A favorite Bezos aphorism is “Your margin is my opportunity.”

A disappointment is that the publicly traded company at https://t.co/BxSiK5eHrX is discontinuing two excellent hosted Database as a Service (DBaaS), offerings: Skysql and Xpand

[Greg Hamer @databasedDev]

This is why we have Open Source!

Long live MariaDB (Foundation @ https://t.co/SFNv0C5xj3).
Not to be confused with rentrenchment at https://t.co/BxSiK5eHrX.

Monty Widenius @montywi remains both a luminary and leader in the Open Source pantheon.
