I'm not outraged, I'm flabbergasted. Flabbergasted this idea made it's way into a real app, and flabbergasted this post made it's way onto the front page of HN. You went through great lengths here to make sure everyone knows a random for-funsies "API" from a random google result doesn't behave like you expected it, complete with the multi-tweet write-up and everything. Looking at what Toptal does, it seems glaringly obvious this "API" was setup for interview coding questions - nothing more. You've drug this company's name and reputation through the mud, right onto the front page of HN. All over a misunderstanding on your part, as we all now know (Cloudflare doing what Cloudflare does and all...), and a misconfiguration on the web admin's part (missing page rule apparently). I'll leave it at that... but perhaps your post/thread should be updated to indicate this company is in fact not doing what you have accused them of.
