Setting up Google alerts for when your company's name gets mentioned on an exceptionally popular discussion board is not special in the slightest.
- mardifoufs 4y agoHe's been a HN user forever and he is active in threads that are unrelated to cloudflare too. You can just take a look at his profile
- meowface 4y agoIndeed. He has previously mentioned that he set up an alerting system to notify him when Cloudflare is mentioned on HN, as well. So it's a mix of both. His response here was perfectly adequate and beyond what the CTO of almost any other large tech company would ever do. Not that it deserves unbridled praise and admiration or something, but the immediate attacks and "weasel word" accusations from others are really weird. HN is way too cynical, sometimes.
