So, David, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

I'm glad to be here.

That's a big role.

I mean, that would shake me in my boots if I was chief strategy officer of Tailscale.

What a big platform you're building and a lot of moving parts and a lot of direction you can go.

But being the top of it all, what does it take to lead strategy inside of an organization like Tailscale?

So for the uninitiated then, describe Tailscale from the non-edge and then take me to the edge and what that means.

This fringe, this edge, you call it the edge, I call it the fringe.

What are some of the things that you've thought of?

Like, how did you go with either yourself or other folks on the team to sort of go into a room and think, okay, what is the true edge?

What are the applications we can build on top of our own platform?

I'm assuming that's how you've positioned this.

What are some of those things?

I know we mentioned, you know, authentication is one of them, obviously.

So you have your Aputure product you recently launched.

But what are some of the edges of that?

What products are you thinking about?

That's interesting.

I mean, we've talked about OIDC recently with Nicholas Zakis around NPM's security.
