Today’s actions are not a cost-cutting exercise
Uh
Ruining lives for the love of the game
Really the techbro cult members did it to themselves… welcome to the lumpkin pumpkin… you smell goooood 🤤
Within the next hour, every member of our global team will receive an email from both of us clarifying how this change affects them. For those departing today, …
Brutal
And the CEO will get a big bonus for this, I guarantee it
Well they gave them time to download the full source code base, and steal office supplies. So that’s kinda nice.
Cloudflare’s usage of AI has increased by more than 600% in the last three months alone. Employees across the company from engineering to HR to finance to marketing run thousands of AI agent sessions each day to get their work done.
Translation: Skip the AI and you might keep your job.
I find it especially egregious that they’d use that metric as justification when most of these tech companies have internal LLM usage quotas you must hit lest you be reprimanded or fired. So you’re forced to use the tool despite its garbage results, then that very same usage is quoted as reason for losing your job
And yet their bullshit is fucking everywhere.
unmitigated audacity to title this blog “building for the future”. i know PR is gonna PR but jfc.

good… the techbro losers are going down with the ship while the corpos take the money and run. They are acelerating… this is when there will be true change. Really actualy good news. The veil is being removed and the toxic positive optimist are crying in their cornflakes. Even you suits are in the cross hairs. Ladder pullers phonies get a dose of their own medicine… hows that optimism treatin yah… you started as zoo keeper now you are the exhibit. “Little Timmy if you look right over there in the corner you can see the endangered tech employee… do you see him barking trying to maintain his territory.” … AI did not take your job your economy is shrinking… come on liberals, you stand in the way put your theories to the test. I am waiting… tap tap tap
I bet ya there’s some meds on your bathroom counter you might want to make sure you took this morning.
