I know the team closely and while they deserve praise, the level of fawning over Tailscale at HN regularly, periodically is just unnatural and makes me suspicious. Even in this thread, a lot of the comments are generic fanboi-ism without much substance - - "The people on that thread are very dope" - "X was manager at Hooli and Tailscale did very well to hire him" - "CEO was the best presenter ever at Hooli" As you correctly noted, they get to the top of HN for every single feature and every single blog post. They are a good startup, but nowhere near being top of the pack to be getting such singled-out treatment.
