Once upon a time we lived in a world of unlimited possibilities and natural selection. Genuine improvements to our lives had become something we had come to expect and as happy people usually behave they forgot to keep track of what the costs we had begun to pay and eventually the debt.

As if that wasn't enough, the oh so basic requirement for Wallstreet which began empowering the companies that got us here, just keep growing.  Eventually though a dilemma arises, the internal innovation engine starts to suffer because maybe the founder is gone, maybe the culture is faltering, or maybe the boat is not so nimble anymore. All this is normally is good, its part of the laisser faire economics making room for new hopefully better replacements.

Except the situation becomes delicate when the world depends on the products and services to function.  So instead of dying they grow by acquisition when people are rational on both end or, by building a product at least good enough to suffocate the up and coming contender  to be setting the bar either way lower then we could have hopped for.

For those of us who understand the systemic problem with code abandonment in the Open source world simple options are scarce if we want things to survive dependency upgrade api deprecations, and of course the never ending vulnerabilities.

This made me ask myself why must David always fight Goliath alone?

While building OnyxCorp and the entire ecosystem which had higher then normal security requirements and the very touchy avoid public clouds keep it on premise mantra I started to imagine how valuable some of these project would be not only if coupled the various applications to solve problems on so many more levels but I came to the conclusion based on my  untested theories that David could maybe go larger and show up with a few tricks up his sleeve, ultimately making the element of superficial size just that superficial.

It's with this very thought that I decided it was time to see how to make this work; well not entirely true watching 4 or 5 obscure pieces of software I uncovered and invested time studying because I sensed there was value but missing a little something yet still all are not sold to know bigger owners and totally y disconnected from one another/

The field requires some different approaches at getting us innovating again and if at all possible devoid of anti-trust forcing their hand
