Unfortunately, India's focus is on everything but models. Hope I am wrong but the VCs there are now very risk free and are only investing in Snacks, Beauty and similar companies making risk free money due to growing income of populatio

I think GCP has been giving out lucrative contracts with lots of discounts and credits which has led to this growth. I've seen many companies jump the ship cause they got 100/200k 2/3 year credits which is a lot for many of t

Sure, if this was one off isolated incident people would have agreed with you. But it's not. Even Google personal accounts have been used to ban their other ones including ones spending thousands of dollars on ads or GCP or any other p

"Railway owns our vendor choices, and we ultimately own this one. Your customers don't care whether the failure was Google or Railway; they see your product. Your uptime is our responsibility, and we'll keep delivering on it.

100% agree, I've seen on Twitter and HN small players facing similar issues with no recourse and response from Google. I don't know what kind of place they are trying to build there. They got TK to woo the enterprise customers who

Then it's a bad endorsement for Gemini 3.5 pro too. But jokes aside, I think they need a customer centric thinking instead of a self-centred one they seem to harbour even before TK joined (not everything can be blamed on him although i

Unfortunately this is becoming common in countries like India since there is no other option. We are looking for a mid level DevOps and get like 1000s of application. The requirements were clear we need k8s and IaC exp. But when we went to

Non-American but yup, Americans generally donate to people whose policies you support. For Non Americans it is a bit complicated but very much possible.
