Microsoft PR arm again on HN. We all known what Microsoft loves.
- soared 10y agoYou weren't kidding. OP's profile: > Working on Microsoft Azure iot and this post is his only contribution.
- LyalinDotCom 10y agoI work for Microsoft in our developer marketing org and can assure you this isn't marketing and Sam works for engineering organization. We're always looking for more ways to contribute to the open source community, but I totally understand in the end you will judge us by our actions and not what some marketing guy (like me) says here :). thanks for reading.
- soared 10y agoI've had enough (not positive) interaction with dev marketing at ms to know how uncoordinated your departments are haha. I'm only judging that this was his only contribution on a new account.
- 3327 10y agoFunny how the dev marketing just "swoop" in so we rest assured its Sam's original contribution.
- dluc 10y ago@soared, sorry if I gave that impression. I'm actually a software engineer, enthusiast HN reader. I thought this was a good opportunity to join the community and share some work :-)
- soared 10y agoNot holding it against you, but generally you'll want to follow some sort of 80-20 or 90-10 rule. Share/contribute 90%, promote your [employer's] stuff 10%.

- 3327 10y agoIt is an organized effort as a campaign to be on HN within Microsoft dev marketing teams- win hearts and minds. See the defense from marketing within the company? That is validation for you right there.
