Might not be par for the course for HN, but gotta drop a link with a light joke, with the background of the money grubbing guy (Temporal founder here) sucking up venture capital like vacuum cleaner who tries to argue he’s intellectually superior in a brag thread about his Company over a competitor (with significant OSS accomplishments) who is attempting to make the world a better place with a freely available primitive that isn’t just available to dev teams at mega teams at Netflix and OpenAI etc.
Hmmm, that feels not very nice, tbh. I have big respect for what Maxim and the team built, and both systems are essentially open and free (publish code and are free to use).
Do you realize that Temporal is fully open source under the MIT License, while the competitor is under BSL?
I certainly don't think I'm superior to them in any way and have great respect for the very capable team they are. We know each other personally. I even presented at the Flink conference while at Uber.
My message is that I'd prefer a more technical discussion of the merits of our products rather than simplified marketing attacks.
Stay humble / nice ego dude.
