Building personal and organizational prestige
Most months I get at least one email from an engineering leader who believes they’d be a candidate for significantly more desirable roles if their personal brand were just better known.

While the team behind Linux Containers regrets that decision and
will be missing LXD as one of its projects, it does respect
Canonical’s decision and is now in the process of moving the
project over.
