And I recognize some of the names because they're from the Ruby community.

These are people that are writing the Ruby books.

And then, you know, after I'm done, there's a break.

It's out of control.

It's electrifying.

We left the Ruby event to come here.

And so I felt like, man, it had arrived, but guess who else was there?

The CoreOS team.

The CoreOS team was watching me because I was pixie booting CoreOS.

This is what I mean is every job's an interview.

The team was like, all right, we can see that, yeah, you should join the CoreOS team.

So that's how I ended up at CoreOS.

This is how I really felt like the container movement had legs.

And this is what maybe a year or two before Kubernetes comes out.

And then Kubernetes came out and you were starting to contribute to the event as well?

Yeah, so I'm at CoreOS, and I think they think that's very important.

A lot of software engineers, sometimes they look at the people on stage and they ask questions like, does that person know what they're doing?

Is this person just like an evangelist?
