## Quote — verbatim

> Akash lets you be sovereign at scale... Akash lets you have your own data center while being able to tap into a vast resource network of data centers... in a permissionless manner, priced in an open setting... DHH's blog post is an amazing testimony and a validation of our thesis... and that's going to be the trend, my friends — we're going to be able to move a lot of these web2 workloads... onto Akash as soon as we get to maturity.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Reacting to DHH (Ruby on Rails creator) announcing 37signals' cloud exit; Greg says cloud is "cost prohibitive" past bootstrap stage and cloud giants "are actually hurting the design of the web" — repatriation validates Akash's thesis.
