For companies to succeed today, they need builders, and builders need tools that allow them to innovate.

The problem is, most cloud vendors don't offer the range of tools builders are looking for.

So you've done a lot of panels, and you've been sort of vocal in public. I don't think you've made

any significant changes to the site. Is that right? I'm missing

anything? No. I mean, we're, you know, I'm in the process of, you know, thinking through a fairly

significant reorganization of the editorial staff and, you know, thinking about the best way to
