Stacklok

Craig McLuckie — who co-created Kubernetes — is putting a Staff FDE at the center of Stacklok's enterprise motion: the person who invented the platform still needs someone embedded to land it in customers. $200K–$300K employer-provided, Go/RBAC, upstream fixes expected. When even that infra pedigree hires an “in-region anchor” for the last mile, it says the deployment gap doesn't care how good your platform is.
