Sorry to break this to you. CloudFlare posts get upvoted on HN because people like them, not because of any special relationship. Was PG involved with Project

  You do normally write very detailed, useful and informative posts. With all due respect that is not what we have in front of us today. I will be honest, after finishing "the article" I have no idea why Mr. Fathi joined cloudflare; nothing in the article sounds like the genuine thoughts or emotions of an actual employee and using his name for such a thinly veiled advertisement sort of dehumanizes him. When you imagine the candidates that you want to attract and hire do you think that they will believe that these are Ben's actual words?

    Is there a set of questions you'd particularly like to see answered? I'd be happy to ask Ben and maybe there could be a followup, or just post them here. (I do agree this post was pretty light on content. I think it's because he and everyone else is busy. Bio Q&A posts are second to funding announcements in inherent boringness, though -- so you could also just wait until there's a more substantive post about e.g. the new KV store or luajit optimizations or something from engineering -- although there's also generally a desire to have the individual engineers who worked on a project post about it, rather than the head of engineering.)
