These claims, while true in a literal sense, always bug me in that they don't really mean anything. I actually work for Mercedes and it's so large I can't even see where my division starts and ends, let alone my area of the company (which is a subsidiary of a subsidiary!)
I'm sure a team uses it somewhere nor do I have any opinion of Retool itself. I'm also not speaking on behalf of Mercedes either. Just that it's a sort of Gell-Mann Amnesia feeling I get when reading that endorsement ;)
- jon-wood 6y agoThese endorsements as far as I can tell are very often based on someone with an @google.com address has signed up and used the tool at some point in time, rather than being an actual endorsement.
- spondyl 6y agoI imagine at a baseline, they have to be paying customers but I generally agree. I've signed up for a few sites that have reached out based purely on my email address. I think I once signed up for HERE Maps who kept calling me. I had to explain that I was using it in a personal, non-commercial capacity and had just happened to accidentally use my work email.
