Side note - why do some sites completely hide information about who is behind them? I couldn't find a single thing about that on their blog or main site.

It's not in any way hidden, just run a whois query:

    $ whois packagecloud.io|grep Owner
    Owner Name    : JOSEPH DAMATO
    Owner OrgName : COMPUTOLOGY, LLC
    Owner Addr    : 359 FILLMORE ST!12
    Owner Addr    : SAN FRANCISCO
    Owner Addr    : CA
    Owner Addr    : US

Maybe it's just that I use packagecloud and follow people in their circle on Twitter, but Joe Damato is the CEO and founder: https://twitter.com/joedamato

I'm under the impression that he may also write a lot these himself? Not entirely certain, though.

Pretty sure he writes all of the linux internals posts. He also has a bunch of great ones on his blog http://timetobleed.com/

All the links are in the footer of the page.

For what it's worth, they disappear if your browser isn't wide enough.

Oops! I'll fix this shortly, thanks for pointing it out.
