11/16/2021, 10:24 PMi would think the best odds come from truthfully explaining what you want to use them for - w

11/16/2021, 10:41 PMThe secret to get picked on any (not just Cloudflare) beta forms is to show how you can help make things better.. - w
William | Chaos Management
11/16/2021, 10:41 PMit never asked how i can make things bettertime to redo the form - e
Erwin
11/16/2021, 10:47 PMI have no idea what the questions on the Cloudflare form are.. and that question is hardly ever asked that directly. But the thing that I am always looking for in beta signups (and I am sure most other PMs are) are people needing this thing to build something, rather than people who just want to satisfy their own curiousity - w
William | Chaos Management
11/16/2021, 10:49 PM> people needing this thing - w

11/16/2021, 10:52 PMFor "educational purposes" they are great - e
Erisa | Support Engineer
11/16/2021, 10:55 PMthey also make great home servers for those who are new to the space :) - e
Erisa | Support Engineer
11/16/2021, 10:55 PMi see Pis as a beginner device, they have excellent resources that go with them to give you a solid foothold in the idea of linux and servers and even programming - e
Erisa | Support Engineer
11/16/2021, 10:56 PMif you already know what youre doing and try to use them for any kind of real workload, there isnt much point and they dont work all that well for it - e
Erisa | Support Engineer
11/16/2021, 10:56 PMexcept like embedded things i guess - e
Erisa | Support Engineer
