Anurag Goel, Founder/CEO of Render, joins Adam to discuss what they're doing to solve cloud problems for application developers. They just raised $80M they don't even need and they're poised to solve boring problems like object storage, and less boring things like building for the AI era. :link: https://changelog.fm/630

Favorite quote from this episode: no is temporary, yes is forever.
Almost skipped this episode (the title didn't pull me in) but sure glad I gave it a listen. I loved hearing Anurag's take on building Render. Interesting that he doesn't position Render as a "better-Heroku". I like how intentional he is with how Render is positioned. I've never used it before but now curious to take a look into it. Curious how to compares to Fly.
