“This architecture shifts the paradigm for self-hosting. It turns "running a server" from a chore into a utility. You get the sovereignty of owning your data without the burden of owning the infrastructure”

Yeah, this is just shameful. Obviously written by an LLM with zero oversight. If this engineer doesn't get fired I'll lose all trust in Cloudflare.

He shouldn't get fired. For all we know he might actually be a decent employee who had a, ekhm, temporary lapse of reason. He didn't destroy anything (except damaging CF brand).

The best CF can do is to post a post-mortem and improve procedures so that can't happen anymore.

It's fine if they don't fire him but the damage to the Cloudflare brand is enough to make me look for alternatives where I can.

I love LLMs as much as the next guy, but it says something about Cloudflare if they allow engineers this reckless in their organization.

This is (1) why I'd like to see the post mortem, and (2) great opportunity for process improvements on the CF side.
