Hi Joe, nice to see you here! :)

So I think every community is interpreting the post with their own bias (it also showed up on Reddit). The context that is missing is that (1) you work for a company that writes amazing open source software to analyze satellite imagery and that as many other companies in the space have found out the hard way, (2) competing with ESRI marketing is absolutely difficult - you have some battle scars already from it. Cheers!
