I didn’t know Peter played such an important role in Let’s Encrypt. I will think of him when I’m waiting just a few seconds for new SSL certs to be issued.
Securing websites before Let’s Encrypt was not fun.
For example, there was a period where the WP Engine dedicated server for 80000hours.org was not using Let’s Encrypt, for reasons out of my control. The server was managed by WP Engine, and issues relating to SSL renewal caused the three most severe website outages we had since 2014 (when I started running the site). Thankfully we’re now using Let’s Encrypt—zero SSL issues since the switch.
Thank you for the post.
