Is anyone else confused by @Cloudflare’s insanely terrible naming of… The Client Apps • 1.1.1.1 — the consumer DNS app • 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP — the consumer DNS app with VPN • WARP — the VPN protocol/feature inside 1.1.1.1 • WARP — the paid tier of WARP • WARP Client — what the docs still call the desktop app • Cloudflare One Agent — the new mobile Zero Trust app • Cloudflare One Client — the new name for the desktop WARP client • BoringTun — the underlying WireGuard implementation (Rust), which powers both The Platform Layer • Cloudflare One — the SASE marketing umbrella for everything below • Cloudflare Zero Trust — the security platform within Cloudflare One • Cloudflare for Teams — what Zero Trust used to be called The Products Inside Zero Trust • Cloudflare Access — ZTNA / identity-based app access • Cloudflare Gateway — Secure Web Gateway / DNS filtering • Cloudflare Tunnel — connects your origin to CF without public IPs • cloudflared — the CLI daemon that runs Tunnel • Argo Tunnel — what Tunnel used to be called The DNS Addresses •1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 — standard resolver •1.1.1.2 / 1.0.0.2 — malware blocking (“for Families”) •1.1.1.3 / 1.0.0.3 — malware adult content blocking Bonus Confusion •MASQUE — the newer tunnel protocol alongside WireGuard, also inside the “WARP” client That’s roughly 25 distinct names for what is fundamentally “we route your traffic through our network and apply policies.” Painful. 😣

I think a majority of 100 person software companies die in the next 2 years Every big idea that requires 100s of people to develop will just be vibe coded by smaller teams in minutes. Even if they can only vibe code 70% of the product that’ll be enough to cancel all the contracts with big SaaS companies I think you see the death of 100 person SaaS companies and an absolute explosion of 1-5 person SaaS companies building extremely useful AI forward tools for very small slivers of the market. Tools built for a niche of a niche of a niche. AI CRM tools for Korean grocery stores. AI payroll tool for lumber warehouses. Use cases big generalist companies like Salesforce or Cursor would never go after. These companies will make maybe $15 million a year max. 0% chance of ever going public or becoming a household name. But if you’re a 5 person company with a $200 subscription to Codex, that’s an incredible amount of money. There hasn’t been 1 software release from the last 6 months where I couldn’t rebuild it myself in minutes. Now with my OpenClaw autonomously reading the internet, looking for successful tools and just building them without my permission, I wake up to SaaS I can use and sell every morning. It’s completely abundant. What this means for you: • Learn vibe coding (I’d recommend OpenClaw, Codex, Claude Code) • Think about where you areas of expertise are • If you have no areas of expertise, have your OpenClaw teach you • Build a niche app for that area of expertise • Have your OpenClaw go out and find potential customers • DM/email them • Change your life I’m 100% confident this is the future. Up to you if you’ll do anything about it
Short every SaaS company on planet earth Today Cursor announced a REALLY sick feature that probably cost them millions of dollars to make Their AI agent records demo videos of itself after it builds things I gave the announcement to my OpenClaw. It built it out in 5 minutes. I pasted in the announcement to Henry. He said on it chief. 5 minutes later he not only built out the entire feature, but recorded a demo video of it too It's now implemented into our entire workflow. Now every time I ask my OpenClaw to build something, a demo video will be attached to every PR At this point how does any SaaS survive? You can take quite literally any feature they build, give it to your personal assistant, and it's built out in 5 minutes What moat is left? When I have superintelligence running locally on my mac studio, and it's able to build out any piece of software I can imagine in minutes, literally what value is left in any software company? This is the most exciting, frightening, awe inspiring time to ever be alive

OpenClaw is not for teams. Straight from @steipete: "The security model of OpenClaw is that it's your PERSONAL assistant (one user - 1...many agents)." And that's great — focused products are the best products! That's why we're focusing @usetoyo to bring the best parts of OpenClaw to founders AND their teams.
Since I spend my night again sifting through security advisories, folks, security researches, slop clankers, PLEASE - read docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/sec… and github.com/openclaw/openclaw… The security model of OpenClaw is that it's your PERSONAL assistant (one user - 1...many agents). IT IS NOT A BUS. If you want to have multiple users that are adversarial to each other, use on VPS per gateway and user. (or Mac Minis, if you like spending money) I closed like 20 reports today that try to force it into something it's was never designed for and that would just add loads of needless complexity and would introduce unnecessary bugs that won't benefit the wast majority of users.

It’s wild how much opportunity there is across so many sectors. Still such early innings.
Replying to @AnthropicAI
Software engineering makes up ~50% of agentic tool calls on our API, but we see emerging use in other industries. As the frontier of risk and autonomy expands, post-deployment monitoring becomes essential. We encourage other model developers to extend this research.

your timeline convinced you AI is in a bubble. talk to a boomer above the age 35 for 5 minutes. most people don’t even know what claude is.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ kind of wild when you zoom out.

We cancelled our entire SaaS stack and started running our business with AI agents. Now, we’re building @useToyo to help other founders do the same. We're pleased to announce $4.3M in funding from @FrontlineVC, @inovia, @pmoe, and angels from Amazon, Microsoft, and Cloudflare. For decades software was built for humans to operate. That world is over. We're building for one where agents do the work, while humans direct.

teleport Claude Code or Codex from your computer to your phone, and speak it with your voice! we just launched 🛷 sled github.com/layercodedev/sled it's an open source web and mobile ui for your local coding agents @jacksbridger and I built this in a week big thanks to the Agent Control Protocol from @zeddotdev which made it all possible

After 20 years in software, I've learned the hard truth: 7 exceptional people with AI tools can outbuild teams of 300 . Welcome to "The Era of the Small Giant" – where impact no longer requires massive headcount. linkedin.com/pulse/era-small…

Software engineers are highly-paid farmers, tending their crops by hand. We just invented the combine harvester. The world is going have a lot more food and a lot fewer farmers in very short order.

Love the new text-to-speech models OpenAI has has just dropped, with prompt style control: openai.fm Working hard to get Layercode live asap so we can make integrating these and others super easy

Before very long, we’re going to be able to give an LLM the login details to a complex SaaS application and the AI will clone it end-to-end. Plus import your data for free. My bet is that this happens in under 12 months.
