After 7 years, I’m going from working at Cloudflare to building on Cloudflare! Tomm is my last day

I’ll miss working with so many insanely driven ppl who made each day fun—none more than @rrnn & @KankaniAbhishek. Thanks @dok2001 for the life-changing DM that started it all 🧡🚀

you can get real-time information abt rockets in space but nyc cant get its buses and trains to share their current location accurately or consistently

@boristane issue wasnt wrangler btw (boo claude). i cant create new dbs from cf dash as well despite having workers paid and it saying i have 50k db limit...at creation time tells me i've hit my limit of 10. i'm sure @MattieTK on it!

@MKassabov i upgraded months ago so i dont think this is a lag issue w billing data pipeline (altho i've seen that before too) 😤

anthropic and claude basically killing its highly subsidized self serve business should finally propel open source models in coming months

claude: you've hit your limit

One of my favorite things about Cloudflare is how teams ship features even if it cuts into another team’s revenue

The markdown instructions on IsItAgentReady are a great example: Claude just ran with it and built the feature for my tiny site, something that would normally require a paid Cloudflare plan

Loudoun County is basically us-east-1

The New York Post sounding like a socialist while Mamdani sounding like an anti waste fiscal conservative 👌🏼

this kinda engagement porn will ruin gpt

Surprising thing isn’t that Claude is having an outage it’s that they didn’t run a prompt for desktop app to ping https://t.co/KPt7GSCIw1 to know the problem isn’t the user’s Internet connection 🫠

[Zaid Farooqui @zaid]

Claude code experts whats the secret to getting Claude Code to share its thinking more instead of this claude comedy🤡? So often I’ve no idea why its taking so long and seeing the thinking could help me improve my prompting

salesforce needs to change its ticker

Even the best developer tools mostly still don't let you sign up for an account via API. This is a big miss in the claude code age because it means that claude can't sign up on its own.

Putting all your account management functions in your API should be tablestakes now.

surprised that cursor’s own model is so meh at ios and swift
