I'm not convinced that a comment on Hacker News is going to lead to any noticeable financial benefit for the poster's company, and by proxy, the poster himself.

I'm not convinced that a comment on Hacker News is going to lead to any noticeable financial benefit for the poster's company, and by proxy, the poster himself. Furthermore, I find your comment extremely suspect, considering you also have a top-level comment [1] in this thread that basically amounts to "guys, guys... there's no reason to worry about this bill!" If anyone's motives should be questioned, it's you. [1]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10789550 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10789550

It's pretty standard around here for people to disclose their affiliations with $product when {commenting about|recommending|suggesting} $product, regardless of any (financial or other) benefit. Hardly a day goes by when I'm reading comments about some $product that I don't encounter one that includes "Disclosure: I'm a developer for $product".
