HashiCorp has been absolutely fascinating to watch over the years. I think they may be unique as a company built around an OSS project in that the *many* new OSS projects they have started within the company are dramatically greater in impact and scope than Vagrant is or was.https://twitter.com/mitchellh/status/1058013014299832321 …
Can you expand on "that's the key innovation"? As in: the innovation is using one narrow but successful OSS project as a distribution wedge for k more ambitious new ones? Or, Vagrant is the only innovation that counts because it's what built the channel?

The first. Vagrant had no real unique R&D and no defensibility and I feel like the attempt to upsell it was abortive and unsuccessful. But it created huge trust and brand awareness with operators enabling Hashi to raise money to built new, defensible products for the channel.

Arguably Elastic did the same. ELK stack isn't really about full-text search.
