Thank you for everything you will be missed @JacobZietek!!!

Second Cosign
From my very first conversation with Jacob I got the impression that real deployments were non-negotiable. Intelligence is coming, deployments are what matter. Really excited to see both Jacob and Praneet work on this together!
