The photo at the top is almost 10 years old, and was from when BW still had a cofounder. It doesn't any more. He probably doesn't have that office any more.
Dude you are doing a lot of PR work in this thread
That's likely because this is a blast from the past.
Someone mentioned [0] his HN handle up-thread [1] and linked to his complaint in 2015 about spam from BuiltWith [2] where the founder responded with an apology and a way to remove his site from their index.
Once I understood that value of BuiltWith myself, I absolutely felt the same way about Dan's characterisation of BuiltWith as "brilliantly simple and profitable".
0: He likely found about via an email notification from a neat tool he made for just this purpose http://hnreplies.com

Yeah I'm wondering why Dan is replying to so many of these comments. I don't get it :P

Not sure why you'd think that. I right clicked on the photo and did an image search which showed it's from an interview in 2013.
It’s pretty clear there are other people doing something, whether they are called “employees” or not.
