    Imagine you’re building a house. It’s not up to code, the neighbor kids built the foundation, a mouse did your electrical wiring, and you can kinda hear some creaking when there’s a gentle breeze, but you have a house.

    The only thing missing is a door in the wide open doorframe and you live in the sketchy part of town.

    That’s what’s happening, except with AI servers.

    Another example is like starting a bank and telling everyone they should use you for their financial needs but you don't have a door to your bank vault. The front door to your bank is also just a single pane of glass with a sign that says "please do not break glass, it'd be bad for our investors 🥺"

    Bare-metal server is a very simple, consumer grade server. The specifics don't matter here.

    "For a significant period of time" doesn't refer to the duration of the job listing, but to the "after selling product" part of the sentence.

    As in, they first started selling stuff, and then had some event happen that suddenly made them care about cyber-security.
