And so I was attracted to that.

CompD was compatible with that.

And then CoreOS was the thing that I was like, you know what?

I think I know what I want to do.

but I didn't understand distributed systems, not to the degree what CoreOS was doing.

So CoreOS was like Google's infrastructure for everyone else.

And so at that time, there was a tool called Mesos,

The board paper had already been published.

I tried to read it when I was at Puppet Labs.

I don't understand any of this stuff.

Macy's is hard to install.

I couldn't justify it.

But we would see kind of the rumblings of the Twitter folks talking about the distributed system and all this maybe big data stuff is going around.

But I was like, I just don't understand it.

It seems incompatible with the stuff that I think about.

Even as someone who's worked at Google that had a system like this, right?

They had Google cluster file system at this time.

It didn't seem as complicated as this Mesos thing.

So I was like, ah, I dismissed it.

But what CoreOS did was build on top of Docker.
