Hold on, you had no trouble judging whether it was good or bad on that Reddit thread. And, in case the subtext isn't clear: you've been at Cloud Flare for like, a minute. And as you said downthread: this is what you do: you advocate and evangelize. So this seems like pretty legitimate grist for discussion. Are you comfortable with your advocacy here, or having second thoughts about it?
:gif_of_homer_simpson_backing_slowly_into_the_hedge: is a totally legit response to this whole situation, for what it's worth.
(I'll reiterate: it would be amusing if your employer just smote me where I stand by revealing the large donation they've made to Jason's project).

My job isn't to be a PR person for everything Cloudflare does. Cloudflare has and does things I disagree with. It's a company with a lot of people working there, after all :)
All of this stuff is completely outside of what is going to be my job. And a job I haven't even started yet! I mean, sure, it's legitimate to talk about like anything is, but if you want to know what's going on, I'm certainly not the person to talk to about it.
... right! I agree! So, again: why were you volunteering opinions about the norms-compliance of this Cloud Flare project on Reddit, rather than just saying, "huh, no idea, wasn't involved"?
Because, while it's a personal thing I am working on, I haven't yet totally learned to not write paragraphs of text when someone asks me a question. I'll get there :) I'll save this thread as a reminder for next time I'm tempted ;)
