Our $100M Series B (oxide.computer) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44733817 - Jul 2025 (503 comments)

This is really good for them, and I do hope they do succeed, but if it's a matter of an individual developer deciding on their optimal area of systems expertise, this is still putting too many eggs in a single basket.

The reality is that even Oxide.Computer clients would still be running Linux on their machines.

So, as an engineer, you're literally shooting yourself in the foot by NOT moving to Linux, when everyone else has.

I think it's a standard sunk cost fallacy here. Some of us continue using BSD, but others switch to Linux and go work at Google, Meta, Amazon and even Oracle and Netflix, at 2x to 4x+ the income we get as BSD and Solaris devs.
