Seems you're reading too much into what I said. I wasn't talking about a metaphorical hotdog, nor was I talking about the Elastic case. The post makes no mention of it either, people on HN just assume it was about it because of the timing (and maybe it was, but I am talking about the general issue of free software). Personally I don't care about companies like Elastic or Amazon, anyway, and I look at it from the point of view of a single programmer writing software.
probably deploy in saferelease mode always unless you are making something like a single player video game, or that otherwise has incredible performance needs but does not deal with untrusted data.

> In June 2018, Elastic filed for an initial public offering with an estimated valuation of between 1.5 and 3 billion dollars.
