Are you assuming that only YC company employees use Hacker News as a news source? Google gets just as much airtime as Microsoft and Amazon here, and Google is vastly smaller (as of right now) in their cloud business.
- mythz 11y agoNo I'm assuming a lot of the Startup and YC community here are overwhelming using AWS which is why I expect AWS stories would be more relevant. I just see a lot of manufactured hype around Azure and not many well-known Startups using it.
- learnHowItWorks 11y agoThe world is a lot bigger than the view around startups. They are great and all, but the audience of this site has grown a lot and includes a large number of corporate IT people now. Weren't there several AWS stories on the front page anyway today? Has "cloud provider" become as tribal as "phone manufacturer" or "os vendor/not-vendor"? That whole part of technology culture is just wearing me out. Research shows that some things in tech trip the same emotional centers in the brain as religion. It just makes me tired. Even if MS was directly paying for stuff like this, wouldn't that be in-line with PG's libertarian whatchamacallit?
