The nature of the blog typically cater towards the intended audience.
The CIO of Disney doesn't give a sh*t if the protocol is called WireGuard or OpenVPN or that if it uses AES-256 encryption - he/she wants someone to tell them that their developers are securely accessing their infrastructure. Full stop. If/when Fly gets to that level (let's say $500M in revenue) their blog tone will likely change - their audience is almost primarily developers and startup CTOs...for now.

- mrkurt 5y agoFor better or worse, I can guarantee you that we won't ever write articles for the Disney CIO. Unless I get fired. Whitepapers. They want whitepapers and magic quadrants.
- mbesto 5y ago> we won't ever write articles > Whitepapers. I probably should have said "content" instead of blog because I agree 100% with this. Point still stands. What the OP was referring to will likely become part of an engineering blog. a la : https://codeascraft.com/ https://codeascraft.com/

- xarope 5y agoWhite papers are to CxOs what TED talks are for the uninformed, an easy way to get someone up to speed on a highly complicated subject, and more fool them (meaning the uninformed) if they think it means they are now an expert, which sadly a lot do (think they are now an expert). I kind of miss the IBM ITSO Redbooks. No idea if they still maintain the same quality today, but in the 90s and pre-internet/google/wiki etc, they were fonts of deep knowledge.
