> One of our outstanding engineers described what it’s like to create a new product

This is a good reminder to enthusiastically help out your legal team if your company is the target of trolls!

I had the opportunity to do it once. Our legal team was helpful, patient, and curious. The work was pretty annoying because you have to try to help them work out whether some bizarrely worded unrelated thing could possibly be construed to be part of our product.

In our case the troll went away as soon as we made it clear we were serious about taking it to court.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Cloudflare taking it as far as they can. The cost and risk must be considerable to them.




The deadline for YC's W25 batch is 8pm PT tonight. Go for it!
