I've been making this joke about Google (big tech in general) for years.
There are two ways to do everything; one is deprecated and the other is not yet feature complete.
Glad to know that they're allowing their customers a taste of what it's like to work at Google.
- alasdair_ 16d agoI heard it when I worked at Niantic right when they spun out of Google. Maybe they stole it from you :)
- vrosas 20d agoI feel like I'm the only person on HN that doesn't have any major (or cliche) problems with GCP, even after using it for a decade at this point. Like it's not perfect and I've hit weird roadblocks along the way but I've dabbled AWS and I currently use Azure at work and those are hilariously bad in their own ways, people just seem to kind of be used to it?

- antonvs 20d agoI like GCP as well, having previously used AWS for many years. The biggest issue is that it's taken Google a long time to figure out what enterprise security is - it's not something what was in their DNA - and the product shows it. They're too focused on weird fancy half-assed "beyond" solutions to properly implement the basics. They dangle clever federated etc. solutions that only work in some circumstances so that you're better off just avoiding them, but the more basic alternatives are limited in their own way because they focus too much on the fancier solutions.
- icedchai 19d agoI find GCP's developer experience to be superior to AWS. Maybe it's just me, but I found Cloud Run to be super simple to use compared to ECS/Fargate. The "gcloud" command structure also makes more sense to me.
- disgruntledphd2 19d agoI haven't used much GCP, I'm just being snarky.
