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
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).
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.
