Right now all three accounts of this are adjacent news items on HN. Heh.

I'm really curious why. This seems like an ok enough idea but hardly anything innovative. Is it just because the founders are bloggers and have a large following that it's getting traction? There's barely a description of what the product will be.

Calling these founders bloggers is perhaps true in the strictest sense of the word, as in they surely have blogs but that's not why some people perk up at this news.

Jessie Frazelle did some serious Docker work, went on to work on Kubernetes, Hyper-V, a brief stint at Github saw her working on their Actions product.

Bryan Cantrill was working on the Solaris kernel for a decade, his dtrace is particularly famous. And then he was CTO at Joyent. You maybe have heard one of the projects they helped with called node.js?

I'm on the comment page here because all of the articles have less information than the comments! Thank you HackerNews users for giving us the skinny on Oxide.
