I don't want to interrupt a good flame war, but I am just a normal dude who posted a tweet about a hack project and was asked by Twilio to write a post about it after the tweet got popular.

I prefer not to post pictures of my kids publicly out of respect for their privacy, so I won't prove to you that I'm a dad, but some cursory twitter-stalking should provide sufficient evidence that I'm not a marketing shill for either AWS or Twilio.
