I'm a very happy Tailscale user and am impressed by its quality and reliability... But why is the team constantly put on the highest of pedestals here on HN? They seem like one of many groups of competent people making good software to me. Perhaps the answer is that they're so good that I vastly underestimate the complexity of the problem Ts solves?

Their devrel is incredible, and to be fair the UX of their product is really good and resembles magic to someone unfamiliar with wireguard.

HN falls for dev marketing really hard every time (see: vercel, stripe, etc)

they take a complex problem, AND a complex solution, and make it beautifully simple so /it just works/, in a way no other system has. The documentation is superb and frequently just makes sense when you do it.
