Why HN links it
HN readers mostly link ockam.io as the company's team and careers pages. The comments are a bug report and job postings for Ockam, which builds tools for secure-by-design systems. None judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

The read more button on https://www.ockam.io/team is a 404 (to https://www.ockam.io/learn/guides/team/values_and_virtues_on... ). Also, there's an "Ockam Values" header right below with no content under it. Edit: but not if I go directly to the page. Maybe it was a transient Chrome bug.

HN discussionwould you like to schedule some time with us to dig into this further. This sounds really interesting and pretty close to things we've seen others do before. To move this off of HN and to a channel that we look at more regularly, I'd like to suggest a couple alts: 1) GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/build-trust/ockam/discussions/categories/... 2) We can schedule a zoom call: https://www.ockam.io/contact/form

HN discussionGood question. It's a nested reference. I named the company Ockam as a tribute to a company that a mentor of mine built and ran in the 70's - 2000's. He named his company after Occam's Razor. The full story: https://www.ockam.io/blog/whats_behind_the_ockam_name

They are the OG, but I'm very skeptical that a new project could take the Red Hat 2000s playbook and apply it in the 2020s. Check out how Peter Levine talks about the 3 'eras' of OSS Companies. I elaborate here: https://www.ockam.io/learn/blog/zero_ipo/#peter-levine---par... And there is a direct link to his perspective here https://a16z.co…
