In a way: it is the knowledge from running an XaaS company distilled
into code, although lots of people worked on the code over the years.
Code libraries = knowledge-as-a-service.

If anyone is thinking of building something as a service, I hope
you'll grab me at the design summit and let me show you the head-start
PlatformLayer gives you; in return I'll get to see more of the areas
where it is lacking!
