It’s funny you complain about the sales pitch the guy gave you, but the comment itself sounds like a sales pitch :)

IMHO it sounds more like someone who is proud of solving a problem for very little effort that Google tried to sell a very expensive solution for.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was trying to convey

Hey, really sorry, I'm genuinely not trying to sell anything (I don't have a product to sell...yet). I can see why you might have interpreted like that though. And it's unfortunately too late to edit my comment. I'll try to think less sales-y next time.

I think you need to calibrate your perception of things you read.
