Man, I remember when you used to run the unofficial HN job board, I sent you a role to post there and you did (probably the first role I ever was involved in hiring for!), I spent the rest of the day bragging to people in the office about how the "Alan Turing guy" had replied to my email
Next thing I knew, Cloudflare was everywhere. What an incredible run! Really well deserved, I wish you the best in your new role
I am both amazed and a bit scared about how big Cloudflare has become. They offer so much value for free. I have a couple of paid services with them, and I also now use them for my domain registrar. The amount of traffic that flows through Cloudflare is unreal. It's a single point of failure if you want to call it that -- but from a website owner's perspective -- the caching and bandwidth savings for free is a hard bargain to pass up.
In my own humble opinion, jgc is the reason behind Cloudflare's open culture and incredible post-mortems. Thanks for making Cloudflare an incredible company to work for and with John. <3
Congrats on your promotion(?) and I wish you well in your new position. I enjoy reading your comments around here and look forward to seeing how you continue to steer the company from a different seat.
