I don't know why you are being downvoted so badly, maybe you should elaborate on your point? I can see how it might be annoying but it's also probably for the best to have these guys commenting on here.

  Sorry if that bothers you (those are often both me). I'm disturbingly addicted to HN, but more than anything I wish AWS would let their folks comment here more freely.

    I changed the tone of my comment, or at least tried to. More power to you man, I think I was reacting more to the users benign comment being down voted than to your comments.

    They don't allow that because it's easy for employees to come across tone deaf, kind of like you. You may not realize it but making comments on here like this can actually hurt the Google cloud brand. All it takes is one decision maker to think you sound too cocky to work with and you're out of a deal.

      So, people in AWS and other parts of Amazon are totally allowed to comment on social media. I do! that's not to say there's a lot of people commenting on social media in any offical capacity, because a lot of people don't want to mix work and personal time like that. I usually only put on my AWS hat when someone has a question and I know the answer, or when somebody says "X sucks". Not because I think they aren't allowed to say "X sucks" (because it probably did for them!), but because you can't really do anything with that. Why did it suck for you? What would make it not suck? To HN's credit, everyone I've asked to explain why their experience sucked has given pretty thorough responses, which is helpful for figuring out whats really important to all of ya'll.
