"Hobby Free forever for hobby use"

Wow. The guy is a jerk and a liar. The board at PlanetScale needs to get this guy off the internet. He's too much of an asshole to be seen in public.

I have no real horse in this race. I know how to manage my own databases, but I do have people asking me about PlanetScale and asking me to use it for certain projects, and I will absolutely never do so now.


More surprising is what a jerk the CEO of PlanetScale is. He's on Twitter being nasty at everyone and everything. The guy is toxic as hell.

He posted this:

"I would like to thank the haters for helping me promote the new PlanetScale $5 plan all day. Thanks guys."

Scorching his reputation on Hacker News is a real 400 IQ movie for a cloud database company CEO.


"Either way I don't care what you remember or think."

Imagine building a product for developers and then going on Hacker News telling people to fuck off.

Someone at my job mentioned using PlanetScale recently. I said "I'll check it out" and now I have: the CEO has terrible judgement and is a jerk. Permanent veto.
