Neat. Hey, OP, can you update my bio though? I used to be CTO of Cloudflare but I retired last March[1] and the new CTO is Dane Knecht (dknecht here). Now I'm just a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.

You can submit a PR to update your bio here: https://github.com/mtlynch/hn-popularity-contest-data/blob/master/data/domains-meta.csv https://github.com/mtlynch/hn-popularity-contest-data/blob/m... - there are 77 closed PRs for that repo already so it looks like it's a well managed path for updating that.

  Thanks, but doesn't look like that'll update the box on the main page that reads: "Who counts as a blogger? I explain more in my methodology page, but it’s basically anyone who blogs as an individual rather than as part of a company or a team. As an example, John Graham-Cumming is the CTO of Cloudflare, so I count his personal blog but not his posts to the Cloudflare company blog."

Sorry about that! Thanks for the correction. I've updated the blog post and the dataset.[0] The blog updates instantly, but the dataset needs a few minutes for my pipeline to re-run and push to the CDN.

  Nothing to apologize for; knowing I'd retired wasn't required reading to participate in HN :-) But thanks for the correction, and even more thanks for choosing me as your example!
