Hey Seth, I know there's been _quite_ the effort under the hood to make this product a reality and am curious if you would be open to writing a bit about lessons learned to help others learn about the research & development process.

If you're interested in a similar solution (albeit closed sourced and managed) that works in a non-cloud, fully off-line (re: internet) environment. Take a look at http://www.hubitat.com. It supports zigbee, zwave and wifi devices and has strong compatibility with the smartthings ecosystem.

Good point regarding the consumer laptop. The point I'd like to make is that using consumer as a proving ground for a future enterprise / cloud play may be compelling.

The contrast here is great.

Finding the problem and creating a solution along with focusing on the process of creating that solution in order to reduce risk of building the wrong solution. Contrasted to building a solution along with a sane dev and production environment for that solution to fit in, to increase possible iteration velocity by reducing deployment inertia.

There's someone very high up at Google who believes that Google can disrupt telephony. Fi and the lifeline of Voice are proof of this.

The fact that this project got refunded is also a tell that Google finds value in Voice (maybe). The question I'd ask is what value is it that they see? A couple of thoughts:

* Move voice users out of Hangouts to reduce users of the monolith.

* Test the current user bases' interest in updates - maybe there's something bigger brewing and this update is an experiment to learn about user habits.

* Create a pipeline program to covert users to Fi.

* Release work done over the holiday vacation that was cheap enough / good enough to release.

The nature of the net us to centralize and then decentralize, it's a cycle. See 90s AOL vs the open net as an example. At this point it's more about usability than it is about access. The open tools that are being built still have a ways to go towards fluid user on-boarding and compelling retention experiences.

Full Disclosure: I also work at Pivotal on a team that has done a large amount of automation using Concourse (check out our pipelines [1])

Things that we've done so far with Concourse:

* A dependency check notifier that based on an RSS feed from various language maintainers: Sends an email, updates our pivotal tracker account, sends a message to our slack channel

* A job, that based on the completion of a build will upload the resulting artifact to Github and tag the release with a new version, auto generated release notes and checksums

* Travis.ci style github pull request analysis

* A security feed monitor that notifies us when a part of our application is vulnerable and when it is, kicks off a build and sends an email notification

* Automatically updates submodules and gems for git repos and runs specs and tests against the updated artifact.

These tasks were not difficult to implement. Every pipeline for Concourse is explicitly defined in its configuration file [2], which we version control. There is never any reconfiguring or rebuilding "snowflake" servers when we re-deploy our Concourse VMs. They rebuild identically based on the config files.

It's very clear there's been frustration from their brand around customers using their Prime Instant Video product. I've been targeted with ads, marketing emails and even direct mail to use the service. It's clear they want more eyeballs on the thing they're giving to prime members for free.

In the end, all it would take to get me fully on board is a native XMBC plugin.
