My girlfriend works for Google. I just moved to the Bay Area and I can definitely relate. She gives me tours of the Mountain View headquarters (and the campus) quite often and I just feel... it's too tranquil... it's too nice... it's too serene and it's just such a privilege to be here. The atmosphere is calm, the location is on beautiful rolling hills of California, the food is fantastic, there is a strong focus on biking/walking/community. Just lovely.

Perhaps news to some, non-news to some. Why do we allow "product launches" on HN? Why let anything with a commercial motive ever appear on this forum? Because HN serves a very broad audience, and consequently allows information that might not pertain to everyone but still deemed valuable by some.

Person: How many Stripe competitiors does YC fund?

You: Go here, do this.

Person: That doesn't provide anything meaningful in this context.

You: I don't pretend to know...

Then why present said "data point" at all?

Seeing a CEO who publicly complains turns me away from even wanting to try the product.

Really? That turns you off? What a lame argument. Your criteria for using Stripe is that "the product works" but not using Bolt is "CEO who complains".
