The Cloudflare CTO is often on HN to answer questions. Last was a couple of hours ago.

I asked him if he had HN alerts, and this was his answer: “I have code that monitors Hacker News comments for mentions of various things (including cloudflare, my username). It runs once a minute and uses https://hn.algolia.com/ to find new comments. (..)”

A CTO that is this close to the users I see as a good sign.

It was their CTO who said that. Their CEO is on paternity leave.

You wouldn’t say that if you saw me at 0630 after a bad night’s sleep :-)

HN and Algolia should block his script with captchas.

Why?

Scraping protection. Advanced anti-bot measures. Defending them in CF thread is usually popular on HN, I'm shocked I'm losing my karma here.

You’re not listing reasons why a user should be blocked from knowing when they are (or their project is) talked about.

Yeah, they're both frequent posters, though I see jgc here more often in general (or just notice him more often, perhaps).
