I work at Stripe, on the marketing team, and assisted a bit here. My last major engineering work was writing the backend to a stock exchange.
If anyone on HN knows anyone who has the sort of interesting life story where they both know what can cause a cluster election to fail and like writing about that sort of thing, we would eagerly like to make their acquaintance.
Kyle used to work at Stripe and left. I don’t think he would come back unfortunately. That guy is absolutely amazing, especially with regards to distributes DBs and writing about them
