SignalFX gets bought for a billion, Microsoft buys jClarity and VMWare is buying Pivotal…again? We discuss all this and “WE” try to make sense of all this fancy “trademark accounting.”Buy Coté’s book dirt cheap (https://leanpub.com/digitalwtf/c/sdt)! And check out his other book that this guy likes (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6559881947412340736/).
