Cloudflare is where you lost me. I don't know anyone actually using them other than for their proxy, DNS servers, or DDOS protection.

replyAlso, not mentioned in my post:
- Mitchell Hashimoto
- Prime Intellect (and all their agent experiments)
- Geoff Huntley (see Jiti, for instance)
(many more)
There's a ton of interesting software being developed with these models by people outside the in group, but I find most of the software from these big guys to be ... bland. Buggy copies of copies.
I don't see the Cloudflare stuff as groundbreaking, let alone people building companies around it. "Workers" are the wrong primitive, IMO. What if my code isn't in Javascript? They sandboxed the wrong part of the machine.
replyI have a version of "Cloudflare OS" running in production, using Temporal as the orchestration and MicroVMs for the sandboxing.
Sorry, I get your point but personally I don't get the hype around them.
