<p>We’re trying something new!</p> <p>In Part 1 of a two-part conversation with Weaveworks co-founder <a href="https://twitter.com/monadic">Alexis Richardson</a>, we have a wide ranging conversation about career choices, finance, founding and selling tech companies, and the dangers of being pigeon-holed based on the first project your company releases.</p> <p>Next week we’ll finish the conversation by talking about Weave projects like <a href="https://fluxcd.io/">Flux</a> and <a href="https://cortexmetrics.io/">Cortex</a>, as well as their SaaS offerings, the founding of the CNCF, and whether Weave built the platform they set out to build when they started 7 years ago.</p> <p>Do you have something cool to share?
