VoidZero, the team behind Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite , is joining Cloudflare. Vite stays open source, vendor-agnostic, and built for everyone. cfl.re/3Q1XYSX

"Engineering, product, and design are all merging into a 'builder' role" Yeah... I'm not so sure. This feels like an oversimplification and podcast talking point. Reality is a lot more complex. Even with 1000 "Member of Technical Staff" titles, someone still has to wake up and care 100x more about Product or Design than anyone else. It is their Main Thing™ That's not to say MTS titles are universally bad, but I think they're an example of this 'builder' talking point that's become bastardized. AI and coding agents have made generating code easy and yet... you're in for a world of pain if non-engineers ship a bunch of slop and don't have great engineers to tame the complexity. The SF hivemind has a tendency to overfit what works at startups for every company. And to be fair, sometimes this is true! Startups can be a leading indicator for how the industry is changing and often cause disruption. However, it is going to be incredibly hard to disrupt the extremely human parts of corporate jobs. You really think there's going to be a PM who also does some engineering and design on the side at JPMorgan Chase? This is true for the simple parts of most jobs, like people wanting to have ownership over something and do good work, move up a career ladder, support their family, get paid well, make an honest living... And also the hard parts: internal politics, some critical business system that has a bus factor of 1 which has been running for 15 years and isn't documented anywhere because it's that guy's job security. The real world has a lot of this stuff. It's easy to pontificate about all roles collapsing but it's actually really nice to have a specific person or team who is an expert in one thing that you can work with. I don't expect that to change. Further, I think AI disruption to knowledge work will take decades to play out because it is more fundamental to the human condition (e.g. sociological/organizational) than pure intelligence.

your obsession with clean code is why your competitors shipped the ugly version that actually works while you’re still refactoring

Devs love to dev so everyone and their mom is building their own version of Ramp’s Inspect. It’s a *ridiculous* amount of work though. You have to build a huge amount of features to just have a simple functional agent orchestration pipeline (that’s actually good with browser testing, cloud sandboxes that actual work, surface area across Linear and Slack, PR review, Security Review, etc, etc, etc) I know because I built several versions of this. Got sick of it and just decided to pay for Devin. Never been happier or freer to just ship a ton of features and bug fixes. You’re absolutely wasting your time if you’re not buying your agent orchestration off the shelf now. Just pick a platform and double down - stop switching - all the frontier models are equally capable now. Focus, double down and build. Don’t build the tool - use the tool. Stop playing with this stuff and just get back to work.

It really looks like @Cloudflare is building the Cloud 2.0, direct for cloud-first/digital native companies/AI-first. This isn't a legacy cloud, its a today future building one. its very different from where "legacy" cloud is today.

love seeing executor & the execution layer post in this video! i'll have a lot more to share on executor this week, it's a bash replacement for your agents and feels like the future of how we give our agents access to tools - try it out! executor.sh

To show this off I slopforked the @opencode server so it runs entirely inside a @CloudflareDev Durable Object. No servers. No containers. Hibernates when idle. Try it: opencode attach opencode-do.southpolesteve.w… Code: github.com/southpolesteve/op…
