I've always liked Firebase. I'm glad it's still around.
Firebase is kind of weird. It's like a Cloud in a Cloud.

Here you go https://adayinthelifeof.nl/2020/05/20/aws.html
> File / object storage. Not primarily used for mounting as filesystem, but you can directly download files through HTTP. Woah, what is this, a novel?
Seriously. Simple Storage Service...
And you still have room for another word.

What kind of marketing? Google cloud is a highly complex B2B product. Do you know what salesforce or oracle sells? As both a developer and consumer, I have no idea.
Salesforce sells a CRM. Oracle sells lawsuits.
Salesforce sells a CRM is about as descriptive as Google sells a cloud. The Salesforce ecosystem consists of hundreds of products which are together worth $200B+.

#35https://github.com/gregsramblings/google-cloud-4-words -> this is where the PDF appears to be generated from, and it has searchable text of the content in its README on the main page, and links to docs on each, and the mobile content that got left off the PDF.
Yup - I can confirm that's the source.

#37The major cloud providers REALLY need to focus on fixing years old bugs in their widely used offerings instead of launching new ones. I guess the incentives are out of whack tho, since a working and widely used but slightly broken offering will be used by their existing customers. But if a competitor beats them to the next major thing, they will lose customers as they migrate over to use it. So they're in a kind of a…
"Years old bugs" are now features

I wonder if it would be possible to run a site where people submit and rate bugs/enhancements/workarounds in cloud products. E.g. AWS Config doesn't support service X or sharing ENIs across NLB target groups can ruin your day.

Eek - that's an oversight on our side during the PDF creation (copying from the github readme to Indesign) -- it was suppose to be on the PDF. We'll update.

They need to throw shade at AWS. "Google cancels everything" is a meme, but AWS releasing broken pre-alpha products, letting old ones rot on the vine, and having crazy monetization schemes that are utterly inconsistent with marketing is not a meme, even though they do these things all the time. If GCP wants to win, they need to fix that, because "will I be blamed for the next shitshow" is the key question on every ar…
Do a Project Zero not for security but for usability, capability, and pricing against AWS?
Sure, but it it has to be memeable. Imagine technical manages bickering in front of their managers.
"Let me get this straight, Google canceled a service and you didn't see it coming?"
^ this needs a comeback.
"Let me get this straight, you ran into another AWS scaling limit and you didn't see it coming?"
or something.
