Perhaps he's quite nice over zoom, but since very few of us are going to meet him in that context, the rest of us are left to judge him by what he posts. And as they say, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
replyBased on what I've read so far, with his shit-talking the competition, he seems like... a bit of an asshole.
> he just comes off as funny on twitter once you've met him.
replyNever heard of the guy before today, but his dickish, edge-lord aura (on X and in this thread) makes me not want to meet him. If I had to choose between buying from him, or some other random dude, I'll hear out the random dude first.

replyIf you have such luxuries, I bet you don't have enough scale to be really profitable for him.
Oh no, how am I ever going to avoid giving my custom to someone who has allegedly cornered the market on - checks notes - a db proxy? Give me a break.
replyI can think of at least 4 other ways of scaling horizontally without switching DB engines. I'd have to be mightily constrained to have this particular product as the only option.
Sure, I don't doubt your ability to do so yourself. I just question your ability to trust some random unknown figure with your data if you have enough scale. That's quite different, actually.
