I haven’t read any Ayn Rand so I’m not totally sure what that means but, as I said, the main reason Cloudflare has a blog like that is to attract new employees. Of course, there are all sorts of others reasons such as giving our employees the satisfaction of having their work made public, helping them write better, hopefully making potential customers think we are cool and want to buy stuff, getting feedback from the outside world (I particularluly love the “why didn’t they do X” type comments because sometimes we learn something useful) and so on.
