Kinda wild in your post history you're advocating for AWS as a cheaper superior platform without disclosing that you work there.

Yup! Haven't done it in years and created this different account to be more clear/direct in who I am. That is also why I called it out at the start and bottom of all my responses.

Maybe that's how he got the job.

No. I've been at AWS for over 7 years in a few different roles. Came to the serverless space >2.5 years ago because I felt passionate about it (could have literally done almost anything). Again, sorry for mis-posting under my older personal account, it was rarely used fwiw.

I wasn't criticizing you. I was pointing out that an equally likely and more charitable interpretation is that you posted as a fan of AWS before you started posting as an employee.

Turns out I was wrong in this case, but you've explained the situation and everything is hunky dory.
