While I know much of the HN community employs AWS services, this place is starting to seem like an Amazon PR Newswire with the past 2 in the last week that I've noticed being posted directly by Jeff. Just my .02

- jeffbarr 17y agoHi Paul, I am definitely not trying to turn HN into a PR Newswire! We've been cranking out new AWS features like crazy of late and the posting frequency has increased accordingly. I was a long time lurker before I started to post, and did so only because my stories would show up here sooner or later anyway. HN readers seem to find what I post useful, based on the number of comments they post and the number of times they up-vote it. I find the comment threads on my posts to be of tremendous value and I always send them along to the appropriate team for their edification.
- numair 17y agoI have to agree with this -- I like to read the HN take on what's going on with AWS. Most of us here use AWS for something or another (if not everything), so Jeff's posts seem pretty relevant.
- PStamatiou 17y agoNo worries - you are correct in that they will probably end up on HN anyways! Been following you on twitter for about a year or so now.
