HashiCorp and Terraform Founder Mitchell Hashimoto Shares Funny Coffee Shop Stories
Are you in the software engineering world?
Ever used Terraform? What about Vagrant? Or heard about Packer? Consul? Vault? Nomad? Boundary? Waypoint?
If you said yes to any of the above, then you’ve used technologies that have been directly created by Mitchell Hashimoto, the founder of HashiCorp who operated as CEO and CTO of the company until moving to an individual contributor role in 2021.
In other words, Hashimoto is kind of a big deal in the software and open-source world. In an industry with thousands upon thousands of developers, Hashimoto is one of the most notable.
Recently, Hashimoto revealed in a thread on Twitter some pretty funny stories over several instances where he was working remotely in a Los Angeles coffee shop.
As successful as Hashimoto is, developer faces aren’t typically common knowledge, and what’s more, Hashimoto mentions that he doesn’t necessarily advertise who he is and who he works for.
