My personal opinion is it was a company for crack monkeys. Consul, Vault and Packer have been nothing but pain and misery for me over the last few years. The application of these technologies has been nothing but a loss of ROI and sanity on a promise.

And don't get me started on Terraform, which is a promise but rarely delivers. It's bad enough that a whole ecosystem appeared around it (like terragrunt) to patch up the holes in it.

When a massive ecosystem springs up around a product, that means it’s wildly successful, actually.

The person you are replying to made no statement about the success of the product. Success and pita-ness are completely orthogonal.

Yeah I'm not saying it's not successful. It's just shit!
