Where’s all the hype of bsky about openai’s image generation? It’s really really good and not a peep!

Everybody is sharing studio ghibli images of themselves on twitter, creative ads too

We finished rolling out edge caching for Hyperdrive earlier this month - cached queries are now up to 10x faster.

This is reflected in an average 50% decrease in session duration for *all queries*! ⚡️

just landed it in the new Cloudflare changelog: developers.cloudflare.com/changelog-ne...

I redesigned my simple web latency tester to make it look freaking cool w/ @protomaps.com x @maplibre.org globe view

because why not? Developers deserve cool tools

Try it out! (I bumped the included limits to 500 & you can select which regions to test from)

@protomaps.com x @maplibre.org is open-source at its best

globe view just dropped

Been playing with the DeepSeek R1 models all day, especially the distilled ones. Had to ask it the one question that always requires peculiar thinking. This one's for you @robsutter.dev

The "thinking" is the interesting part:

I've been wanting to test out ideas and experiment with ways to interact with LLMs. This is a demo of milestone -1, a simple LLM client in the spirit of building in public

Great writeup

I think the chart of responsibility for career development is intriguing

I’ve always thought of the manager as more of someone who can support/enable/shed light on career growth, but they aren’t the ones to drive it.

That’s on the IC, and that’s the biggest chunk of career growth

All part of the “ecosystem” advantage - whether v0/Claude/ChatGPT decide to write React on their own or whether their makers indicate to use React in the system prompt, it’s the same end result:

More people get exposed to React as the default

This is my favorite of the "year in review" blog posts that Cloudflare is putting out: blog.cloudflare.com/radar-2024-y...

Great graphs on which websites are gaining in traction and rank. Check this one on the recent rise of Bluesky and how it compares to Twitter and Mastodon:

I'm at reinvent w/ the team at the Cloudflare booth! Come see us if you want to talk about Workers, R2, AI, KV, Durable Objects, Zero Trust (or just nerd out about frontend & serverless!)

We added support for secure clear-text password authentication to @cloudflare.social Hyperdrive, so we updated our docs w/ more providers!

Examples for connecting to Xata, Azure and Nile Postgres databases, using Hyperdrive to speed up connections from your Workers to regional db's! 👇

Quick write-up on the architecture of Geofetcher, a global speed test app built on Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects (since I've gotten some questions about it):

Added dark mode to Geofetcher. No more blinding screen at night. Tailwind + React context + Protomaps themes made this surprisingly easy. What do you think?
