> Seeing who is being laid off, especially on my team, it's the people who make things run.

As a Cloudflare customer, that's reassuring! .. not.

I know of 4 teams in Cloudflare One, who lost EMs, PMs and engineers in really critical connectivity systems. Our list of things we need to do is years long. Many of those are needed for reliability and scaling.

They quietly stopped hiring months ago and I figured things were not good. My mistake was thinking my group would be a little safer being profit drivers and big deals...

  • Is it possible that the line of thinking really is that "agentic AI" will up for the capability shortfall?

    It seems to be the stated expectation, but I find it incredulous that management really would believe that?

  • So Sorry, And I literally just moved all my stuff to cloudflare 2 weeks ago… if it means anything it was a great product.
