May I have an off topic question? I know I read in an article that Cloudbleed woke you up like 1:23AM but I can't find that article any more and I used that to tell my junior developers to write code they can understand when they are woken at 1:23AM as you were. So the question is -- is this true or did I dream up something?

That is true.

I woke to my phone ringing quickly followed by this exchange of messages: https://imgur.com/a/7aLLw22

I would love to read about this somewhere. I also share the grand-posters opinion that sharing these kinds of stories with less experienced developers is fantastic culture.
I've done two talks on Cloudbleed (at Virus Bulletin 2017 and at RSA 2018). I would be happy to do a talk about it again somewhere.
Looks like they just put your RSA talk online: https://youtu.be/hojAgTsTeCA
