John (our CTO) and I care about HN because we’re engineers at heart. Unfortunately, most the people we sell to today have never even heard of let alone participated in this community. But, over time, I hope as many of the people in this community get C’s in front of their titles and manage hundred million dollar IT budgets, I hope you’ll stay engaged here. More engineers in the C-suite would be great.

Having a presence and even just replying quickly gives a sense of, 'if something goes wrong, I'll know and if I need someone, posting there works'.
