- eastdakota 3y agoThank you for posting. We could never have built Cloudflare without Lee. His disease is incredibly tragic and in many ways literally unimaginable. Today he is still alive but has continued to cognitively decline. I am happy that Cloudflare’s success has ensured he has the support he needs. I miss having him as a cofounder and friend every day.
- martin8412 3y agoI bawled my eyes out the first time I read it, and it's not any easier this time. I'm happy the success of Cloudflare has allowed him the best available care, even if all his money can't cure him within his own lifetime. It's a horrifying disease.
