I wonder how cracked you have to be to become the CTO of Cloudflare

He’s definitely cracked, but Cloudflare is full of cracked engineers. What sets Dane apart I’ve noticed over the years is the sheer endurance and immediate agency he operates on. It’s unreal how much he’s actually getting done. Not just meetings, unblocking processes all over…

Spotify is another. Their CTO is so cracked. Once listened to his podcast with @DavidDeutschOxf, I understood immediately why he’s the CTO.

"So what do you do?" "I am CTO @Cloudflare so basically my role means meeting the demanding mastery in global-scale networking, security, and infrastructure amid challenges like the November 2025 outage I publicly addressed." "Good talk, see you out there." Resume includes…

Perfect timing - wondering this while half the internet's playing hide and seek. Must be cracked enough to handle outages like today's without cracking under pressure! 😅

Just cracked enough to be a Rust fanatic. I don't see any reason why they need to write a stupid dashboard API in Rust.

chances are they know the original codebase they know where are the critical functions are called and won’t tell anyone will gloss over them in docs and maintain job security that’s how senior devs were made
