From the turmoil in digital currencies and rising complexity for information technology departments to advances in machine learning and continued challenges in cybersecurity, 2022 proved to be busy year in the technology world. Hundreds of interviews on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s live streaming studio, and SiliconANGLE\u2019s ongoing news coverage of major tech events provided a bountiful source of commentary. Here are a few of the more memorable quotes from 2022:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe simplest way to think about us is if you\u2019ve got cryptocurrency, you bring it to us and we give you yield, which is a different way of saying interest, just like a bank would. Celsius will give you something like 10%, 15% and sometimes 17% APY. You can also take a loan for as little as 1% interest.\u201d \u2013 Tushar Nadkarni<\/a>, chief growth and product officer at Celsius Network LLC, during a panel discussion<\/a> at CES in January. Celsius filed for bankruptcy<\/a> in July.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t panic, boss, but it\u2019s only about 70% to 80% of the software in our enterprise that is third-party open-source software. In the modern era, that means building on open-source packages and technologies across a whole slew of languages and ecosystems. We use all of it here boss, and we don\u2019t have a business unless we do.\u201d \u2013 Donald Fischer<\/a>, co-founder and chief executive officer of Tidelift Inc., during an interview<\/a> in January for the AWS Startup Showcase: Open Cloud Innovations event.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the world of machine learning, it\u2019s Day One. We just woke up, and we haven\u2019t even had a cup of coffee yet. It\u2019s that early.\u201d \u2013 Swami Sivasubramanian<\/a>, vice president of database, analytics and machine learning at Amazon Web Services Inc. during an interview<\/a> in January for the AWS Startup Showcase: Open Cloud Innovations event.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c5G comes with a tremendous amount of value and benefit, but it also comes with inherent technology complexity. Our most important priority in this journey is to keep it simple for the enterprise, make it intuitive, and trust it from day one.\u201d \u2013 Masum Mir<\/a>, vice president and general manager of the Mobile Business Unit at Cisco Systems Inc., in a conversation<\/a> with theCUBE during the \u201cCisco: Powering Hybrid Work\u201d event in March.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are 7 million cellular base stations in the world, and every one of those is becoming a datacenter. The edge is rapidly developing. This next decade is going to be about that intelligent connected future.\u201d \u2013 Michael Dell<\/a>, chairman and chief executive officer of Dell Technologies Inc., during an interview<\/a> with theCUBE at Dell Technologies World in May.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s finding your people, finding the community that resonates with you, and it\u2019s different for everyone. In this Web3 space, you get to come up with your own identity. Who doesn\u2019t want to be a Disko Leopard?\u201d \u2013 Narelle Bailey<\/a>\u00a0 managing director of Verve Events International, during theCUBE\u2019s coverage<\/a> of the Women of Web3 event in March. The Disko Leopard persona was created by Bailey from the Lazy Lions NFT<\/a> collection.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year there was a clear feeling among women of \u2018what can\u2019t I do.\u2019 That feeling was echoed by everyone I spoke with. That confidence is palpable, even when you are doing an interview by Zoom. You can feel it; you can be inspired by it.\u201d \u2013\u00a0TheCUBE industry analyst Lisa Martin<\/a> during theCUBE\u2019s coverage<\/a> of the Women in Tech: International Women\u2019s Day event in March.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened last week was a sad moment in our history.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Antonio Neri<\/a>, chief executive officer of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., during theCUBE\u2019s coverage<\/a> of HPE Discover in June. Neri was asked for comment on the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s ruling<\/a> overturning the Roe v. Wade abortion decision.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad I\u2019m not in IT anymore. It is a complex and dangerous world out there, and I don\u2019t envy the IT folks that have to support these modernization and transformation efforts going on inside the enterprise. It\u2019s almost like there is a pseudo level of witchcraft that\u2019s required to support the modern data environment.\u201d \u2013 Matt Kimball<\/a>, senior analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, during theCUBE\u2019s Analyst Power Panel<\/a> in March on the future of database platforms.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMy perspective is that 50,000 enterprises are adopting Kubernetes over the next five to ten years, and they are all going through the same exact journey, they are all going to end up potentially making the same mistake, which is they are going to assume that Kubernetes is easy.\u201d \u2013 Haseeb Budhani<\/a>, co-founder and chief executive officer of Rafay Systems Inc., during theCUBE\u2019s coverage<\/a> of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in May.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI tune all of it out and look at what customers are doing. Multicloud exists in a variety of forms, some brilliant, some brain dead. When someone gets on stage from a company and tells me to do a thing that directly benefits their company, I am skeptical at best. When customers get on stage and say this is what we are doing because it solves problems, that\u2019s when I shut up and listen.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Corey Quinn<\/a>, chief cloud economist of The Duckbill Group, during the AWS Summit San Francisco event<\/a> in April.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started my company, Quip, my first phone call was to Marc because I had never sold enterprise software before. Marc is my mentor and my friend.\u201d \u2013 Bret Taylor<\/a>, co-chief executive officer at Salesforce Inc., during a press conference at Dreamforce<\/a> with company founder Marc Benioff<\/a> in September. Taylor announced his resignation<\/a> from Salesforce in November.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn a Nike store in the metaverse, I still need to understand what the customer prefers and keep up with that customer as they change their preferences. There are more than enough tools to know what happened. There are only emerging tools to tell you what might happen.\u201d \u2013 Manyam Mallela<\/a>, co-founder and head of artificial intelligence at Blueshift Inc., during theCUBE\u2019s broadcast<\/a> of the AWS Startup Showcase \u201cMarTech Emerging Cloud-Scale Customer Experiences\u201d event in June.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was on Peet\u2019s to-go cups and coffee cards handed out by baristas. We are seeing the rebirth of the QR code. They\u2019re back, and they\u2019re here to stay.\u201d \u2013 Michelle Lerner<\/a>, senior director of business management at Branch Inc., during the AWS Startup Showcase<\/a> \u201cMarTech Emerging Cloud-Scale Customer Experiences\u201d event in June.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in the midst of the biggest transformation the industry has seen in the last 100 years.\u201d \u2013 Scott Miller<\/a>, vice president of software-defined vehicle and operating systems at General Motors Co., commenting<\/a> on the In-Vehicle Operating System announced by Red Hat Inc. at its Summit in May.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can take Linux anyplace, from the public cloud out to the edge. It\u2019s like continuing to build a beautiful house on a solid piece of ground. It\u2019s the land that matters.\u201d \u2013 Stefanie Chiras<\/a>, senior vice president of partner ecosystem success at Red Hat, during a Summit media briefing<\/a> in May.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up on \u2018Star Trek.\u2019 The idea of boldly going where no one has gone before was pretty interesting stuff. Space just captivates the human imagination. It just really motivates people, and I was motivated the same way.\u201d \u2013 Clint Crosier<\/a>, director of aerospace and satellite solutions at AWS and retired Maj. Gen. of the Space Force and Air Force, during an interview<\/a> with SiliconANGLE in July.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Databricks did was address the functionality in data lakes to fix the data swamp. Snowflake is building an ecosystem and enabling that ecosystem to monetize inside their Data Cloud. Both companies are addressing their weaknesses and doubling down on their strengths. They are building an AWS-like supercloud.\u201d \u2013\u00a0SiliconANGLE and Wikibon industry analyst Dave Vellante<\/a>, commenting<\/a> in August on the growing contest between Databricks and Snowflake.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGoldman on top of AWS is an ISV. It\u2019s a SaaS offering. We\u2019re the cloud.\u201d \u2013 Adam Selipsky<\/a>, chief executive of AWS, when asked in November<\/a> by SiliconANGLE industry analyst John Furrier<\/a> about whether Goldman Sachs was building a supercloud on top of the AWS platform.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the warfare on information, the Ukrainian people have the upper hand, they are the ones controlling the narrative. Right now, it looks like Russia is losing the battle.\u201d \u2013 Lior Div<\/a>, co-founder and chief executive of Cybereason Inc., during a virtual briefing<\/a> in April on cyber conflict in the Ukraine-Russia war.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the security landscape the stakes are high and getting higher. In the new security model, you have to assume that anything talking to a database is hostile.\u201d \u2013 Tom Gillis<\/a>, senior vice president and general manager of VMware Inc.\u2019s Networking and Advanced Security Business Group, during an interview<\/a> with SiliconANGLE at the company\u2019s \u201cExplore\u201d conference in August.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no perimeter; the perimeter is dead. The \u2018new perimeter\u2019 is every transaction at scale. You have to have a new model, and security posture needs to be rethought.\u201d \u2013 John Furrier<\/a>, during theCUBE\u2019s keynote analysis<\/a> at the AWS re:Inforce security event in July.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAI will hack humanity unlike anything that\u2019s come before. The hacks don\u2019t even require major breakthroughs in AI. AI systems will hack other AI systems and humans will just be collateral damage.\u201d \u2013 Bruce Schneier<\/a>, lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, during a presentation<\/a> at the RSA Conference in June.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDeepfake technology has been democratized quickly; it is so cheap and accessible. The tech world spent so much time on how to do it; it didn\u2019t think about should we do it.\u201d \u2013 Gunnar Hellekson<\/a>, general manager of the Enterprise Linux Business unit at Red Hat, in a November interview<\/a> with SiliconANGLE.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMuch like everything else in security, we figured it out along the way. Now we need a lot more people in the room trying to explain what\u2019s going on, what the unintended consequences of technology are.\u201d \u2013 Black Hat founder Jeff Moss<\/a>\u00a0in his conference keynote remarks<\/a> in August.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cRunning business as usual is becoming increasingly complex and more difficult to do. If you haven\u2019t looked at the network in the last two years and made changes, you\u2019re out of date. The world has changed.\u201d \u2013 Michael Fagan<\/a>, chief transformation officer of entertainment conglomerate Village Roadshow Ltd., in a December interview<\/a> with theCUBE during Ignite \u201922.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the longest time, the cloud was being presented as this false choice between the infrastructure of the past and the infrastructure of the future, like the blue pill and the red pill. We\u2019ve brought into this context the purple pill, which gives you the best of both.\u201d \u2013 Manoj Sharma<\/a>, director of product management for Google Cloud at Alphabet Inc., during theCUBE\u2019s coverage<\/a> of VMware Explore in August. In the 1999 sci-fi action thriller \u201cThe Matrix,\u201d a character must choose<\/a> between taking a red pill to learn a life-changing truth about the future or a blue pill that will keep him in blissful ignorance.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI really should have taken the blue pill.\u201d \u2013 Amazon.com Inc. Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels<\/a>, during AWS re:Invent in December, following his appearance<\/a> in a \u201cMatrix\u201d parody video.<\/em><\/p>\n
