In a work call yesterday, someone said they’re going Albania, someone else said ‘apparently it’s the Maldives of Europe’. Bare people laughed. Anyways, did my Googles and was angry at the UK again.

On Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2023, Cloudflare detected a threat actor on our self-hosted Atlassian server. Our security team immediately began investigating, cut off the threat actor’s access, and no Cloudflare customer data or systems were impacted. https://t.co/sL5glOqDIZ

If you're holding yourselves accountable to high standards of pace, you won't have those classic "nothing to report" stand-ups because that's not a good enough answer.

Development isn't a solo sport. Use stand-up to pool your resources and move faster as a team.

[Martha Lambert 🍖 @martyhambert]

All the replies saying motivated teams don't need stand-ups isn't the hot take they think it is

If you're a team working at pace, stand-up is essential
- What is the no. 1 thing to do that day
- What is slowing you down
- How can you be flexible as a team to get there

Security is always an important topic. But next week the team has put a lot of effort into sharing some important updates with everyone. Looking forward to it and feedback from the community!

[Michelle Zatlyn @zatlyn]

There is so much heaviness in the world but I am so proud of the work our team is doing. If you are thinking about a new role where your work can make an impact, check out our careers page. We are hiring across every single team. https://t.co/ytIDHO42LA

[Abida Ali Thomas @abida_aal]

@mibullock Gah! Feel better soon!

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

One last thing. The two characteristics we most look for (regardless of the team) are: curiosity and empathy. We'd take those over education, experience, GPA, IQ or anything else.

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

So, please, if you're curious (a good student) and empathetic (a good teacher), regardless of your background, where you live, or whether you think you fit whatever you perceive the "mold" at @Cloudflare to be, we hope you'll apply to join us in 2022. https://t.co/A04XkUDDWW

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

We have people with multiple Ph.Ds working alongside people who didn't finish high school. The more diverse a team is the more likely it is to win (for the same reasons you want diversity in your stock portfolio and we worry about the rhinos).

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

@Cloudflare And we're not slowing down in 2022! We've learned a lot through the pandemic and are confident that we can build an even more diverse and productive team (on every dimension) if we open up roles to being remote. So, wherever you are, know: we're hiring! https://t.co/aLqmRDf4tV
