    claude code isolated code environments excels at making mobile three js game mockups with its screenshotting. bad publishing and repo connection ux - default should be create new private repo on github, not pick a repo. it's amazing seeing it work from a iphone app instance. also publishing html fragments to github pages or cloudflare dev pages is bullshit, they need actual artifact hosting without share banner sign in wrappers

    @Namecheap has lost my business. Today was the last straw. I will never buy another domain from you scammy ************* in life. You add “premium domain” tax and gatekeep customers. I even got a capital letter “BANNED” for a domain I searched and then I just bought it through @Cloudflare for $11. After the BANNED thing, I searched another domain and it said “Premium Domain” and was priced at $100,000… I also bought that domain at Cloudflare for $11. That was the last straw. I’ve been a Namecheap customer for over 20 years. I am DONE. I’ll be transferring all of my domains to Cloudflare this week.

    @jeffdafo @AdamRackis You know who CAN imagine that curve in traffic? Cloudflare. Akamai. Fastly. AWS. GCP. And very ironically, Azure. We have an entire industry built around turning explosive growth in traffic, storage and compute into a capacity-planning problem. They all seem to be doing just fine. Software infrastructure is, famously, somewhat easier to parallelize than pregnancy.

    @alex_verem Agreed that files you can read and diff are the right layer for code decisions. The bit that still leaks: the reasoning you worked out in a ChatGPT thread never reaches the repo. I build Second Brain for that half, stored in your own Cloudflare account.

    @jpschroeder Cloudflare mentioned that 'limits and alerts are coming'. which is the most important part, without this protection, consumers always pay the price. Im shocked that a company like Cloudflare doesnt understand protect against this. It's only after a public backlash that they fix

  • IdoBronstein
    Ido Bronstein (@IdoBronstein) reported

    On August 6th, @Cloudflare launched a web browser no human will ever use. It's called Kitesurf, and it's built only for AI agents. Instead of forking Chromium — the engine behind almost every browser automation tool of the past decade — Cloudflare put together a new lightweight engine in Rust. In their own tests it uses up to 3.8x less CPU and 7x less memory than Chromium, at the cost of running a bit slower per task (@TechCrunch). Read past the specs. The cost of letting an agent act on the web just dropped by a large multiple. When something gets that much cheaper, you don't get a little more of it. You get a flood. That's where I'd slow down. Every company is about to run far more agents, doing far more things, for far less money. The bottleneck stops being "can we afford to run agents" and becomes "can we trust what they do at that volume." Here's the part that changes. A wrong answer used to be one bad report that one person caught. At agent speed, one wrong definition becomes a thousand wrong actions before anyone looks. The mistake isn't worse. There are just many more copies of it, made much faster. So before you scale the agents, fix what they read. Clear definitions. One source of truth. A named owner for each definition, so when something breaks you know who fixes it. Cheap agents multiply whatever you feed them. Make sure it's worth multiplying.

    @htmx_org I’m shifting my strategy thusly: Only purchasing lower-end consumer Mac hardware that I don’t mind upgrading (iMacs, MacBook Airs) that connect to storage and services run on a cobbled together Linux box in my house. Everything I need, Postgres, mssql, plex, file storage, next cloud, LLM services, forgejo… I’ll either do ssh tunneling or set up Cloudflare tunnels for remote access. I’m cobbling together such a system right now, partially from old PC parts I already had sitting around. A quad-core ryzen box with DDR4 is more than enough for any and all of this, and will be for a long time. I still get the userland and mainstream support of macOS, while I can grow, mod and cobble together commodity HW. The central idea is: data portability between systems. Then your userland and desktop environment starts to matter less.

    So I've just been testing out OMP with DeepSeek v4 pro, and so far I'm not impressed. I had a PR that had a couple of failing tests, nothing that complicated. I asked it to review the PR CI failing tests, and resolve the issues. This is something I often do, as sometimes there are one or two failing tests in the whole suite when a new feature has been made, and they're usually small quick fixes. I decided to just let it crack on and sort this out, as Claude Sonnet can usually nail this in no time, and it doesn't seem to use that many tokens. Anyway, OMP + DeepSeek v4 Pro on Cloudflare has been working on this for a while now, and burnt through $18 of tokens! 🤨 Massive fail! I've told it to stop, but it's still hammering out code as I'm typing this.

    Logs lied. Agent complied. Stack burned. At DEF CON 34, Tenet Security just dropped “Ghostjacking.” Attackers inject malicious instructions straight into the observability logs (Cloudflare, Datadog, Sentry) that AI coding agents trust during incident investigation.The agent reads the “blocked request,” treats the poison as gospel, and executes: domain takeover, credential theft, backdoors — all with the permissions you already gave it.Firewall never went down. It just stopped mattering.90% success rate against Claude Code on recommended configs.Your AI agent is only as trustworthy as the logs it consumes. In a world racing toward autonomous agents, this is the new kill chain.Stay sharp. @Quan_Chain #AIagent #AIinfra

    2. Railway → Cloudflare Workers + Containers I was using Railway for a couple of vibe coded backends, was mostly paying the fixed 20$ for the pro tier. Initially i tried moving it to Cloudflare workers, but ran into runtime issues. So i had to refactor some code to use workers + containers. The container scales down after 90 seconds of inactivity. It introduces some cold start time, but its totally fine for hobby projects. Learning: use Workers for the edge and Containers for the Node-specific parts. Scale-to-zero only works properly when the application is genuinely restart safe.

    Update on my Hot Wheels bot: It has officially gone from "random script I'm hoping works" to a proper monitoring pipeline 😭 Also caught a nasty false-positive bug where an ADD button from a recommended product could be mistaken for my wishlisted car. Persistent browser, saved location, concurrent wishlist checks, crash recovery and Cloudflare backoffs are in too. Now I just need Blinkit to actually restock the damn cars.

    The payment layer is where this gets interesting. Cloudflare's pay-per-crawl beta uses HTTP 402, the old `Payment Required` status code, so publishers can allow, block, or charge crawlers. Cloudflare also says sites on its network already send over a billion 402 responses per day to bots and crawlers. The signal exists. The settlement layer is the missing piece.

    @leerob I've been testing out Cursor again after using Conductor for a while. I'm surprised some easy to add useful features are still missing. When a PR is created, why is there no "Preview" button to quickly go to the Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare preview deployment that gets created with a PR? I have to go to the PR view, then discussion, then scroll down to the Vercel comment and click "Preview" link in there? Seems like an easy win? Why is there no "run" button, to easily run the dev server to quickly test the changes? I have to open the terminal tab and manually type the command?

    Tried to renew my domain today. GoDaddy showed ~$16.70/year. At checkout: ~$27.20 before tax. I thought it was a bug. Turns out ~$10.50 “Full Domain Protection” had been added. I tried turning it off. The entire domain disappeared from the cart. So instead of renewing, I transferred the domain to @Cloudflare Cost: ~$10.46 +1 year included New expiry: 2027 A ~$10.50 upsell turned a renewal into a lost customer. Interesting way to do retention.

    Ported Buzz from Rust to C and called it Hush. Changed the User Interface around and started bolting on pieces. Built using @tetsuoai's writing legible C skill. Included a STUN/TURN server in C as well. The idea being that you can deploy this thing and use it to pin down media paths and enable voice/video. Will be adding support for Cloudflare TURN, eventually

    I thought the 10 custom domain limit (on the Laravel Cloud plan I'm on) would be an issue. It just pushed me to handle more things directly in CloudFlare. A much better solution of those things that need mail DNS and a simple redirect.

    @launch_llama AWS doesn’t really do this; the closest precedents are Cloudflare D1 and Turso. SQLite is perfect until you need a second machine. At that point, people start migrating to Postgres just to get read replicas, failover, live updates, and support for offline devices. Sirannon keeps the SQLite and adds that layer: replication with automatic failover, queries that stay live as data changes, and two-way device sync that works offline.

    Every day it gets harder to justify not using Cloudflare for a new project. Stuff like this is part of it. The pace they're shipping at is kind of insane, and the old “Cloudflare DX sucks” argument feels more outdated every month. Then you look at what $5/mo gets you: → 10M Workers requests → 30M CPU-ms → D1: 25B rows read + 50M rows written + 5GB → R2: 10GB storage + zero egress fees → Email: 3k/mo, then $0.35/1k → KV + Durable Objects And all of this sits on Cloudflare's global network: 335+ cities, with ~95% of the internet-connected population within 50ms of their network. Meanwhile, the paid tiers of tools you'd commonly stitch together around this stack start at: Vercel Pro: $20/mo Supabase Pro: $25/mo Resend Pro: $20/mo Not 1:1, obviously. That's not the point. The point is that as a solo dev you can get an absurd amount of your production stack under one $5 baseline instead of stitching together 4 different vendors. Wrangler has gotten really good too, and with Alchemy you can define and deploy basically your entire Cloudflare stack in TypeScript. And before someone brings up outages: yeah, Cloudflare has had a few incidents. But they also proxy ~20% of the web. If Cloudflare is having that kind of outage, chances are you're far from the only one having a bad day anyway. For solo devs starting something new, Workers is becoming really hard to argue against.

    5 free repos just blew up on GitHub this week, and they all upgrade your AI coding setup. 1. Agent Skills, 87,000 stars. It's eight commands that cover your whole dev cycle, spec, plan, build, test, review, ship, so your agent stops skipping steps. 2. book-to-skill. Point it at any book or PDF and it turns the whole thing into a skill, so your AI stops guessing at best practices it never actually read. 3. Cloudflare Computer. It gives your agent an actual Linux computer, so it never loses your work the second a session ends. 4. TencentDB Agent Memory. one shared memory for your whole team of agents, so you never explain the same thing five times. 5. authentik. a free open source auth server with 24,000 stars, so you can stop paying Auth0 and Clerk just to put a login on your app.

  • MixinMessenger

    The wider pattern: the stack is splitting into systems that accumulate identity and systems built to hold less of it. Signal shipped Automatic Key Verification on Aug 11, with Cloudflare and Trail of Bits as independent auditors. Vitalik argued on Aug 7 that pseudonymity no longer survives AI-driven metadata correlation, and that message-level unlinkability is the standard worth chasing. Different projects sit at different points on that curve — the direction of travel is what matters: collect less, retain less, expose less.

    The cost of early complexity in software is something we tend to not consider when building. I’ve been an engineer for about 5 years now and in that time, I’ve been encouraged to learn technology and systems that do not fit my needs because it was trending at the moment. One of such is Kubernetes. Popularly known as K8s. It is an orchestration technology developed by Google. While it is exceptional at what it is designed for, your software might not need it. Docker or Podman is much more sufficient for most use cases. Another is GRPC and GRAPHQL, I’m not saying these are bad but your software might also not need it. You’re not processing data at the scale of Shopify or Facebook to justify the complexity of setting up a graphql server or are you having cross service communication that you need the smallest amount of latency to justify setting up and managing a grpc server. Another one that irks me is using a cloud provider like AWS, GCP or AZURE. Brother, you do not need a cloud provider, your mostly Nigerian users would not benefit from your app having high availability across 10 regions and your user base is too small to justify that auto scaling group you just added. Keep it simple, a shared VPS and cloudflare is more than enough to serve your application to thousands of users. These are my opinions and not facts. Code smart, not hard.

    AI agents are quietly creating a new type of user. And some of the infrastructure being built around them is more interesting than the agents themselves. - Anthropic surveyed 500+ technical leaders and found **57% of organizations are already deploying agents for multi-stage workflows**, while 16% have moved into cross-functional workflows. Even more interesting: **80% said their agent investments are already producing measurable economic returns.** Not “we expect ROI.” Reported ROI. And nearly 90% of the organizations surveyed are already using AI to assist with coding. The agent story is moving faster from chatbot → workflow than I expected. - But then you get a weird contradiction. Microsoft now has **Entra Agent ID** specifically for managing non-human identities. You can create agent identities, assign owners/sponsors, govern their lifecycle, apply access controls and keep separate sign-in/audit logs. Basically: your company can now have a directory full of things that aren't employees. That's probably going to get very large if agent deployment keeps accelerating. - Okta is taking the same problem from the security side. Its latest research describes agents being used to: approve refunds post transactions change customer records connect through APIs/MCP and access systems on behalf of users. And Okta explicitly argues that agents shouldn't simply be treated like ordinary service accounts. That's an important distinction. A service account generally executes predefined instructions. An agent can read something... make a decision... and then decide what tool to call next. - Then Okta Threat Intelligence found something even more interesting. In one test, an AI agent encountering a malicious webpage ended up exposing its: credential store password API key and GitHub personal access token. Nobody explicitly asked it to do that. The agent was manipulated by what it encountered. That's the ugly side of giving software autonomy. The more useful the agent becomes, the more important its permissions become. - And now Cloudflare is taking the idea one step further. It isn't just giving agents identities. It's giving them **wallets**. Agents can potentially use those wallets to pay for APIs, content and other services, with controls around spending and approved destinations. So the stack is becoming: **identity → permission → action → payment** for software. That is a pretty significant change. - Adyen is already building infrastructure for the other side of this. Its new Agentic product has three pieces: **Agentic Feed** **Agentic Cart** **Agentic Payments** The idea is basically: let an AI discover the product, build the cart, and eventually complete the transaction, without merchants rebuilding their entire commerce stack for every AI platform. Adyen says AI-generated retail traffic surged **4,700% in 2025**. Obviously traffic ≠ purchases. But the direction is interesting. AI is moving from: **“help me find something”** toward: **“find it and buy it for me.”** - And there is another number I found interesting. In Adyen's Hong Kong survey: **74% of consumers** had already used AI assistants for shopping. But **45% were uncomfortable letting AI complete a purchase on their behalf.** That's the gap. Discovery is easy. Delegation is harder. People are willing to let AI recommend a product. They're much less comfortable giving it the final click on a high-value purchase. - So you have two things happening simultaneously. Enterprise: **agents are getting more permissions.** Consumers: **agents are getting more purchasing power.** And the infrastructure in the middle is being built right now. Identity. Authentication. Authorization. Fraud detection. Audit. Payments. Observability. - The really interesting part is that these markets don't need agents to replace humans completely. They just need agents to become **numerous**. 10 agents inside a company is manageable. 1,000 is different. 10,000 is a completely different identity/security problem. And if each agent can call multiple tools... the number of machine-to-machine interactions gets ridiculous very quickly. - That's why I'm starting to think about agents less as: **“the next type of chatbot”** and more as: **“a new class of software user.”** Humans created the original demand for: identity payments security permissions and audit trails. Applications created another layer. Now agents are creating another one. - TLDR: The interesting AI-agent trade may not be the agent itself. It may be everything required to let a **non-human entity safely act inside the economy.** Microsoft is building the identity layer. Okta is building the security/governance layer. Cloudflare is adding the wallet. Adyen is building the commerce layer. Anthropic's data says enterprises are already reporting measurable ROI. So the question I'm watching is: **How many “users” will the enterprise have when most of them aren't human?**

    @mehulmpt you sure about cloudflare? they are down each month. and cloudflare is much easier to host than a *** service.

    @r3c0nc1l3r Nice. I will have to look into that. I almost never get to work directly with Cloudflare so I'm not as familiar with its offerings as I should be.
