Ugh

This is the stuff that some of my fellow engineers would tell me about China doing. And one of the reasons that they were working in the US to have a more sane work/life balance.

Ramp admits that their customer base is tech biased and I’m guessing that they market heavily in San Fran to skew the data towards tech folks. But the trend happening at all is worrying.

I’ll be honest, I never thought we’d be deploying data centers in a tent. But here we are. This all kicked off when I was on reCharge last year.

Check out the FastCompany Article on our tent build out. Definitely not for the faint of heart and probably only something that a few companies would ever entertain. But…it CAN be done!
