If I was your friend like them, I'd be millionaire but instead I am banned for exposing you. I always knew that life isn't fair but I am counting on coronavirus to make it a little fairer
When every Wireguard post gets immediately hijacked to become a promotion for this company, when at least 2 threads get to the HN frontpage each week then something is totally very fishy. I understand the founders are popular and have strong connections with many powerful people here. But at least this systematic promotion should be mentioned as promotion and not some innocent thread because it's totally organized and intentional.

HN promoted Tailscale worth of million dollars of advertising so far for free. This is really disgusting and the biggest proof that relations >>> product.
Are you sure you are talking about Kind and not minikube for instance? for me Kind is the most efficient way of running a real cluster on my machine, a bare cluster merely takes 600MB for RAM in my case and the creation takes too long only in the first time because it downloads the docker images.
> I typically don't shill around here, but why isn't ZeroTier on that list? I suppose we don't have a giant marketing budget (yet).
now you know, nothing here is just coincidental, not even the timing the posts are submitted or the type of comments that get quickly upvoted or buried to derail the discussion in a certain direction or even the links injected in comments of popular threads to improve the SEO of some companies and projects. Every, again EVERY, WireGuard post over the past 2 months has instantly converted into a shilling party for this company that literally has no product to offer, its source-code is pre-alpha state yet the party is persistent for every thread, it seems that the owners have really powerful friends all over the place and that's why they're having free ride despite having no product. This recipe for having a popular startup name with no actual product has really worked very well in the easy times of 2014-2020. Let's see how things work out this time
I will stop doing that. But HN should give the priority to FOSS projects and commercial projects made by single developers and small companies that have no money or other way of reaching out to users instead of helping big companies and startups made by millionaires. As of Wireguard case, if you've been following all popular threads about it throughout the last 2 months you will know what I am talking about.
Again, please do your job and delete astroturfing comments and ban these users. This company has been exploiting HN for so long to promote itself whenever a post about Wireguard go to the frontpage. They don't even have a ready product. This website encourages really sneaky types of marketing if you don't take action.
I didn't say he is angry, my main point was not advertise for free for a company that is built off the work of a single man, especially when it's FOSS, especially when it's a technically piece of genius like WireGuard, while not supporting the man himself. There are known ways for companies to market their paid product, it's called ads.
This is more or less what a senior Frontend dev usually makes in the US. The author single handedly made the first serious FOSS VPN that can replace IPSec and OpenVPN
I am sick of people shilling to this thing here. Stop exploiting HN for free advertising. Every Wireguard post here has become a free ad for this company.
EDIT: Stop supporting parasites repackaging and rebranding open source and selling it while leaving the author who single handedly made this entire thing possible begging for donations on Patreon
Golang is such a joke of a language. The compiler won't even compile if there is an unused variable but won't warn you if there is an unchecked error! This language is meant to produce buggy incorrect code that can only be mitigated with writing excessive repetitive tests that have nothing to do with business logic itself.
Golang is probably the biggest embarrassment of a modern programming language ever conceived. Again, if you don't believe me, just start writing your first Kubernetes controller.
Okay HN I will take your downvotes as an indicator and tell everybody do not opensource your next weekend project and share it first on ProductHunt and pay $100 for 200 upvotes to some indian kid to make it the product of the day and sell it as subscription!
