As the day continued, Williams sat down with Steve Herrod, Managing Director at General Catalyst to discuss the future of technology policy and investing. The world is moving toward multi-cloud platforms, with some running sass, others Amazon or VMWare along with multiple container vendors. As an investor, Herrod stressed that something that provides an industry-wide security policy is where tomorrow’s large companies will be built. Steve continued, noting an interesting discussion around Amazon's Lambda, asking that when writing at high extraction, does it truly matter how such code is implemented? As such, developers have to keep asking, "Is this the right abstraction?" and get rid of unnecessary complexity. This can be achieved with application centric infrastructure, and building smarter infrastructures to look at data and make it behave better. This also requires hardware that morphs to support different application types, making transitions between workflows seamless.
