Previous intern at Planet here from way back in the Summer of 2017 on the optical team. Just wanted to say thank you for creating something unique, and giving the opportunities for those just growing in the space to come along and join. I'd like to think my short time at Planet has given my early career the butterfly effect, and for that I'm forever grateful.
As for my question, it's about how much has Planet changed over the years. I recall during the 2017-2018 period Planet reached "sufficient" daily coverage of the Earth with their doves and small fleet of skysat's, and the next challenge was pivoting to take advantage of that data. Recently I saw a post from Planet talking about Pelican and SAR, which is very exciting.
So back to an actual question, how do you manage the pendulum swinging between hardware and software focus with in the company?
