Or the simpler explanation (which is probably closer to the truth): Stripe is a very popular company on HN as many people use them, their founders sometimes comment here and if they share their opinion on something people pay attention and upvote it.
Or the even simpler explanation, that whenever Stripe posts a blog post, they have nine or 10 employees waiting to upvote it the moment it goes live.
Doesn't explain how you get to the frontpage with less than 20 upvotes magically.
You only need about 4 upvotes in the first 20 minutes or so to get on the front page. It's the same for every story.
