The Big Themes:

• Living up to the hype: Whether you’re talking about cloud applications, or cloud infrastructure, it’s a huge accelerator.
• Put it in a giant backpack: You just carry it over to the public cloud and empty it out. But if you’re a brand-new company with no legacy, that works pretty well because your backpack’s empty.
• It took 17 seconds for everyone to have a smartphone: The transition was easier – it was better. Everyone knows the cloud is better, but we’re at 15% market penetration.
• Not afraid of hard engineering problems: The thing about doing hard engineering is that when you get it wrong, it looks like a lot of egg on your face, but when you get it right, you build something truly magical.

The Big Quotes:

“That's our job. It's our responsibility. We've been that leader for 30 plus years. We need to be that leader now.”
