The Cloudflare CTO is often on HN to answer questions. Last was a couple of hours ago. I asked him if he had HN alerts, and this was his answer: “I have code that monitors Hacker News comments for mentions of various things (including cloudflare, my username). It runs once a minute and uses https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/ to find new comments. (..)” https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jgrahamc https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jgrahamc A CTO that is this close to the users I see as a good sign.

    Yeah, they're both frequent posters, though I see jgc here more often in general (or just notice him more often, perhaps).

It was their CTO who said that. Their CEO is on paternity leave.

  Just corrected it. Thanks

  Yes, but still checking Hacker News.

JGC is one of my favourite people.

  You wouldn’t say that if you saw me at 0630 after a bad night’s sleep :-)
  - ttul 5y ago
    I suppose that is universal though.

HN and Algolia should block his script with captchas.
- scrollaway 5y ago
  Why?
  - zuzun 5y ago
    Scraping protection. Advanced anti-bot measures. Defending them in CF thread is usually popular on HN, I'm shocked I'm losing my karma here.

      You’re not listing reasons why a user should be blocked from knowing when they are (or their project is) talked about.
