Pretty much any HN comment thread even tangentially related to "cloud" usually has comments from employees at AWS, Azure, and/or GCP -- you know, Oracle's three primary competitors. -- not to mention many other big tech companies (Facebook, Netflix, IBM/RedHat, and so on).

Amazon updated their guidance to employees a few years back that we could share our own opinions freely online. That was after the but article and many happy amazonians pointing out they were hamstrung from posting their experiences online. It just seems smart from a customer trust and recruiting standpoint.

Don't leak material information or customer data tho. Which can make it hard as some of the best stuff is secret or customer related. Filters abound.

It was weird moving to twitch which was default open before this switch as the two policies were in conflicts.

I think this is better overall. And I enjoy the insights from aws folks and gcp, and the sparring that goes on.

I don't know anyone who went to Oracle cloud and was happy, but apparently they can't share their opinions
