HashiCorp Founder: Companies Losing Vision Are Just Chasing the AI Wave

Mitchell Hashimoto points out that when companies shift from being proactive to reactive, it's a clear sign that leadership has lost its vision. They start making decisions that feel "safe," which usually means following others.
He notes that this happens during every major secular shift, with the current AI boom being the obvious example. Many companies that seemed exciting just a few years ago now feel like they are playing catch-up instead of leading the industry.
