Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Railway: The Agent-Native Cloud — Jake Cooper · 20 May 2026 podcast

This is all like, you know, me verbatim.

Yeah, rephrasing or whatever.

We turned on the money tree and then we had no reason to like not like have focus because we just had infinite money where we could go and split all of our focus, right?

But that ends up diluting your product.

It ends up like making these things where you kind of have these offshoots where you're just like, is that the focus of the business, right?

And it ultimately ends up not being if it's not the core of your business, right?

And so to me, it's like kind of no one.

that like it languished in general, right?

Because it just wasn't the core focus of the business.

And I think that a lot of companies get in trouble with this when they kind of like split out their focus in general because it means that you're almost like fighting a like multi-fronted war trying to like compete with all these things and not just like compete with them externally, but compete with them

internally for like alignment and like where are we going what are we doing what is our purpose here right like if you're you know if you're really really you know like Salesforce built and you're like hey listen I love Salesforce and I really want to like work on all those things like you know and you're mission driven which is like the aspiration for a company in general of like why do people work on things right it's like they want to work on something interesting right like

Heroku is off to the side.

It's like it's not the core of the business.

Right.

And so to get those resourcing, you know, like budget or focus or alignment or whatever internally, it's just pushed away.

Right.

So it was it was literally just a matter of time for it to happen in our mind.

Yeah, yeah.

So, yeah.

And then, you know, behind the scenes, I think they issued some stuff to people being like, hey, yeah, you should, like, close these accounts down.
