Worked on a small update to the Cloudflare dashboard. Hopefully you'll never need to see it but if you do...

We dropped Vercel. $40/mo. Not huge money, but replaced by CF + a little custom plumbing that costs a few cents/mo.
Not a brag or a gloat — just an observation. Post-LLM-horizon, the best businesses will show sustained, undeniable value at a price point too good to replace.

Zone setting changes used to rebuild entire DNS zones, even ones with tens of millions of records. Here is how we built a planner that picks the smallest safe build, cutting full builds by 40%, peak memory by 85%, and halving build delay. cfl.re/4sxqSsW

Emdash!
A Typescript version of @WordPress plugins? All of core someday? Interesting... 🤓 What should we call it?
movabletypescript.com ?

let's play an engineering game
you have two Cloudflare workers. one is a firehose for webhooks that forwards requests to another worker
you see that the flamegraph for a request looks like the top. where is all of that untraced time going (30ms+16ms)? assume everything is well traced.
you want it to look like the bottom. what do you do?

The future is just bringing the joy that Winamp skins brought to everything.
Aware is (basically) a browser we're building to explore personal computing and generative, malleable software. it keeps a footprint of the materials (pages, files) as a graph in a relational database stored locally.
Been writing my paper in my own latex editor inside Aware. It's very satisfying when software fixes itself and fetches its own context and attach them to the right parts.
The editor is an experiment of "interface as a skill": the editor's code and its skill live in the paper's repo, so the same agent that knows my code and data also lives in the editor. So i get:
1. an interface i can reprogram any part anytime (aesthetics i like, and the scratch pad i always wanted)
2. an agent living in the editor, with the whole project as context (a figure links to the dashboard, built from the real analysis code that made it)
(though i have to admit, some of my focused writing time now goes to wanting to tweak the editor instead)

ngl but Cloudflare's UI has grown on me
it's actually much clearer than Vercel which always makes me wanna punch the wall
Cloudflare has A LOT of features yes and they can get messy
but I only use some of them and the ones i do use are clear to navigate
look at this screen for example, it's for the builds
it's SO clear and well structured 😳😍
best dev tool I've ever used, it's super fast too

t+20m: we got @Cloudflare on call
t+40m: we got our problem solved
we were not even their clients, but this is the best customer service i have ever seen.
the guys are very skilled. they understood in seconds what was the problem, and helped us
@rushs1ck and the team 🫡
I urgently need someone at @cloudflare to get us on the enterprise plan in the next few hours, we need higher limits, budget is not a problem, time is!
thanks

ADHD mitigation:
Automated spinning up new sessions for tangential work based on main thread without getting sidetracked with @pidotdev and @superlogical.
Now I just need this for cabinet doors.

🎨 Custom pages for @Cloudflare Access are here.
Use HTML + Liquid to brand login, access-denied, and CLI approval pages. Give blocked users clear next steps, create custom branding, and make it easier on your users!
Check out the new demo denied page I cooked up 🤩

Me and a band of plucky misfits (@maks_mak_0 and a few others), codename the Alertocats 🙀, have started rebuilding Cloudflare's whole notifications and alerting experience.
First up: a brand new UI. Find it in the dash at Observability → Alerts 👇
