- sunsetMurk 9y agoor a passionate user who had a great experience?! I love finding solutions which require less 'square peg round hole'. Unfortunately, rare these days when piecing together a stack w/ the myriad of platforms/frameworks/etc.
- BoorishBears 9y agoI'm usually not skeptical of comments but this comment definitely feels "artificial". I think Google has better things to do than to pay people to comment on HN, but I do think either this person is trying too hard to sell us on Google Cloud because they like it (which isn't a bad thing per say) Edit: I thought about it and they probably aren't related to it, probably just really enthusiastic about it (good thing) but they want to sell us on it (eh, not sure how I feel about)
- sunsetMurk 9y agoYep - I guess I'm a bit empathic to the comment. I'm always trying to sell what I'm using to others, to get more into that camp, to generate more discussion and innovation. But, it's all just like ice cream [1] anyways. 1- https://twitter.com/adamlaz/status/900621343347146752 https://twitter.com/adamlaz/status/900621343347146752

- londons_explore 9y agoI would hope someone on HN would disclose a conflict of interest when presenting their opinion. Disclosure: Work for one of the cloud providers, but not on cloud itself.
- kuschku 9y agoSadly, this is rarely true. Many of the people defending AMP for example turn out to be Google employees that didn't disclose it (found via their comment history), and people that complain about AMP are not just privacy activists, but often also involved in publishers or advertisers that lose money from it. I doubt it would be much different in this thread.
- neya 9y agoMy bad, I've added the disclosure.
- dang 9y agoAccusations of astroturfing or shilling are against the HN guidelines, so please don't comment like this here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html The reason is that the accusation is false orders of magnitude more often than it is true—because people falsely assume someone else can't possibly be holding an opposing view in good faith—and false accusations damage the community.
