Agree, awesome news for Twilio. Congrats Jeff and team.

Disagree that passion for Twilio comes from distance to traditional telecom. That has not been my personal experience, anyway. Can anyone imagine that Twilio operates in a vacuum without any need for telecom dealings? If anything, Twilio insulates us from interfacing with the big bad telecoms, and allows us peons to benefit from their legwork for a reasonable, predictable, per-transaction fee.

I doubt a blue whale flinches when a krill gives it the finger (proboscis? antennae? whatever appendage krill use as a rude gesture).

Thank you very much - we're pretty stoked about it.

For me at least, I think the passion you see inside Twilio comes from without more than it comes from within. Every damn day we are running into people who are doing meaningful, extraordinary work with the stuff we build.

Hard not to get genuinely excited about that. Glad to hear it shows when you meet us.
