Tailscale has raised $160M

Good. This lets them receive some of the value they’ve created (they should get paid!) and gives certainty they won’t go out of business. Which means more Tailscale now and in future!

If they turn evil (unlikely with the current folks there) they’ve written up / open sourced plenty of what got them to this point.

Don’t capture all the value you create. But you should try to capture some.

The same thing has been said about many other companies taking on VC Money. Someday, those investors are going to want to see a return on that investment. Its going to take focus and determination to not just ship enshittification as a feature..
