Google to buy Wiz for $32B

One wonders if $32B spent "pluggin' up the holes" would accomplish more. A lot of open source code could be rewritten at this price point.

They're paying mostly for Wiz's customer book, who they will quickly alienate and drive to competitors.

Paying $32 billion dollars for a customer book with no network effect is insane

But not by tomorrow. Google is trying to pay their way into cloud leadership. Because they can’t catch up organically.

A lot of "holes" are misconfigurations. Not sure how rewriting open source code helps with that.
