Opsgenie vs. Splunk: Choosing the Right Incident Management Solution
[13:32 CEST] The post got flagged. What the hell that means?
[13:41 CEST] Contacted moderators asking why is it flagged. I spent 2 weeks on the blog post. It's not a clickbait, I got good feedback on the content before I posted it, the grammar was revised. Hm... waiting.
Still no response. Well, this was a complete failure. Once I figure why, I will write down the learnings.
Damn. Can't edit my post. Will use comments.
[12:46 CEST] About to share the HackerNews link to a telegram group with my ex-trivago colleagues and friends but the link doesn't work.
Ehm... didn't share yet. Testing the link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23101572 in an incognito window doesn't show anything. Wtf? Maybe it needs to get approved first?
