I see he responded above, but as someone who follows along on Twitter: he doesn't hate AWS, actually he gets the word out about a fair number of AWS services. I spend more on AWS than anything else for my company, so I think I know a thing or two about them. If I want the official AWS view on things I can consult their blog page, follow their guys on Twitter (which I do), and read their press releases. I don't really want that, though, and neither do most people, because I want to know when I'm being led astray, when AWS is pushing my trust a little too far. If some service looks cheap or easy to implement but has a lot of gotchas, I want to know that. I want a friendly-but-independent perspective, and that's what he offers.
