    Oh yeah, I know that that’s a thing. It’s a practice not too different from the stereotypical drug dealer who gets you hooked on free drugs. In this case the idea is that if you start there, you get vendor-locked and you will have to pay that amount many times over. I understand the appeal from the company perspective, though.

      Yes absolutely true. For example, GKE looks very nice, but when we use one of their features, it creates the need to use other features too. That’s why I warned the boss a lot. Even though they have great features, we try to use generic applications to avoid hooks.

      I hope they don’t take the credit back :)
