Watch Cloudflare closely and hold Matthew Prince accountable to all of these statements. If LLMs enhance their builders while simultaneously making their measurers redundant, investors should expect record business growth, drastically fewer outages, and few if any security and compliance fails.

Honestly not the apocalyptic scenario I had on my bingo card.

Huh, I wonder why people hate AI so much?

> AI isn’t the harbinger of bleak youth unemployment—it is quite the opposite.

This makes no sense and directly contradicts everything else said before. How is gloating about how you're laying people off despite making more money than ever supposed to increase employment? Do they honestly believe everyone is gullible enough to believe blatant lies like this?

> We cut middle managers across the organization because AI allows us to have more direct reports per manager while still measuring and mentoring our teams effectively

You will be mentored and performance measured by AI, not humans.

> And, as CEO, I’ve never had better tools to measure exactly how the business is performing, including identifying our rising stars.

Everyone is tracked by AI

> They’re the next generation who will invent ways to drive our business. With AI we can now better measure their contributions and accurately identify those who will be tomorrow’s leaders.

Everything done by every employee judged automatically by AI 24/7, and you’ll put up with it because you’re desperate, 1000s of people applied per internship role.

This is a horrible dystopian future, we’re supposed to be excited by this?

Would be far too expensive in my country because of the severance package.

They want to focus on builders and sellers but will support them like robots. A great recipe for disaster.

Legal is measuring too? I can't wrap my head around the reasoning process here. Unless cloudflare is going to be a teal enterprise (from the reinventing organisations book), I don't see how it makes sense.

Paywalled.
