why is this absolute dreck on HN?
nothing in this piece gives any indication that the authors have any idea what Hashi even does. the extent of analysis is "hurr durr cloud computing is big" and then a long nondescript "Open Source is Key to Product-Led Growth" buzzword bingo that reads like a noob discovering how bottom up open source works for the first time
i need a downvote button at the post level, i want a refund on my time spent reading this shit
- yomkippur 4y agothink a lot of saas/developer tools/open source in corporate clothing are manipulating opinions, flagging, censoring criticisms. you can buy HN votes/aged accounts like Reddit. noticed this especially when a YC company is in the submission. its funny because all they are doing is selling to the same buyers (many who are also YC companies) creating a sorta ponzi scheme where you constantly have a supply of "IPO ready" to take advnatage of the bubble which is now bursting and you have increased astroturfing HN used to be above this. I feel increasingly that many submissions are just purely marketing hidden under a FREE sign.
- simonebrunozzi 4y ago> nothing in this piece gives any indication that the authors have any idea what Hashi even does. Yep, quite fully agree with you here. (to be mentioned that I worked at AWS, I am very familiar with the industry, I met Mitch and other people in the team several times early on, and have extensively used their products until 3-4 years ago).
