It appears that at least one person working on this is connected to Prime-a tech streamer that has blown up recently.
So I think there are some people who don’t love the idea that tech is being driven by content creators.
But the reality is a well marketed product will always perform better than a well engineered product.
Given the fact that all these tools are interchangeable based on where you want to sacrifice, I actually think it’s pretty cool they are doing this kind of marketing.
You can’t win in that area on just product. And I think that really brothers a certain kind of HN poster.

Maybe not exactly a "product" in the normal sense (but neither is a Terraform-in-JS thingy so) but Linux beat every other competitor (in the server space) by just being "better", rather than "more marketed". I'm sure there are more examples out there proving "well marketed" doesn't always win.
Interesting I was not aware of this. Wish them all the luck and hope they become the next unicorn. The people working on this seem extremely competent.
