## What Jamie wrote

This is definitely one of the single best things to happen on the web in a long time. Let's remember that before Let's Encrypt, this was expensive, slow, and painful. Securing the web was locked in the hands of companies that were not innovating. I’m a big fan of Let's Encrypt and use their certificates everywhere I can.
