       | Of course these ideas are not that new. IPv6 was supposed to give
       | end-to-end connectivity to all, and originally IPsec was supposed
       | to be mandatory part of IPv6, giving each internet host
       | cryptographic identity. And so on.

       | I really enjoy and appreciate the tailscale service, but this
       | article didn't click for me. I love an inspiring CEO rally speech
       | as much as the next early adopter, and agree that there is a
       | ridiculous amount of developer friction and complexity in
       | computing, but tailscale still has its own friction and isn't on
       | track to solve the big picture issues _at all_.
       | 
       | As a concrete example, a few weeks ago, I invited my dad to my
       | tailnet with the intent of using remote desktop into his machine
       | to help him fix something. He accepted the invite, and then I
       | couldn't ping his machine despite it appearing in my TS domain
       | web interface.
       | 
       | Now he hates tailscale, and I lost credibility because prior I
       | told him how awesome it is. In his view, it wasted his time and
       | doesn't "work right", and metadat is a fool.

       | internet. Cool?
