Blogger rishdotblog says he'd be a very happy customer if Anthropic or a hyperscaler acquired Tailscale, noting it has become the main point of failure in his systems and for most startups, and hoping the company secures capital and access to frontier models. TheZachMueller pushed back, arguing a Tailscale buyout would be "the end of days" — highlighting developer anxiety over the networking firm's potential acquisition.
