Dog Fooding, Silicon Valley Terminology, Show Outro
The hosts explain the term "dog fooding," a Silicon Valley phrase referring to a company using its own software internally. They reflect on their role as a "frontier podcast" and thank the listeners and "trolls" in the live stream. The segment transitions into the value-for-value model and the importance of independent software developers.

The hosts dismiss the report as "equity-driven propaganda," arguing that centuries of specialized breeding for tasks like herding or guarding clearly result in distinct breed temperaments.
