When you become an engineer in Canada, you take an oath To never cause harm/suffering/etc to humans as a result of your work This applies equally, if not more, to business Both can be used for good (to remove suffering) or evil (to add it) Do good work. Don't be evil

I believe every fortunate person will tell you this, but let me be the first: Every investment you will ever make, no matter how successful, will pale in comparison to the partners you keep Your life partner, your business partners, etc

Yesterday, for a couple hours, an issue occurred causing delays for <10% of users and dropped connections for <1% Any amount of customer impact is for us unacceptable We've published a retro + post mortem and put resolutions in place We take this all very, very seriously

Just so we’re clear, we like the Cloudflare folks I just think the consumer is going to get much, much better tools if you get great players pushing each other And where we’re going, we *need* those tools For me, you cannot put a price on that. This must exist.

And yet, wouldn’t it be so much better if 3-5 companies absolutely went to the mattresses in 2026? Just an all out war on “Who can build the best way to build and deploy software”? That’s our plan for 2026. Looking forward to next year :)

FWIW this is why - snowflake struggled to raise their series C - every tier1 passed on datadog seed/A/B - cloudflare could only raise from no-name VCs - wall street didn't understand AWS [until the numbers spoke for themselves]

Before asking taxpayers for another dollar, maybe start by defunding the homeless beer-concierge services, trimming the 17 layers of middle management, and shutting down the feel-good programs no one audits.

It’s so much easier to pull something back than it is to pull something forward (I do think there is massive friction in having two separate tools, but design and engineering *are* two distinct flavors)

Strong agree It’s important to not let the constraints get in the way of innovation Design unencumbered and then let reality “pull” things back to earth

Whenever a new design to code tool comes around, people get excited. It’s considered the holy grail of design. You can now design with code. This is the final evolution. But I don’t agree. It’s only the holy grail if you value output higher than the process of design. Whenever

Now, I think the stories a bit more obvious (some are even building towards “it”!) But, go check the network first, especially now So many of these companies (us included!) are looking for stellar, driven, autonomous people

Strongly agree Only started Railway after going through everybody I knew; our whole early cap table was angels at those co’s Asked them if they were building “it” and if I could have a job The answer was always “Nope, but, sounds cool would write an angel check”

if you have an idea for something that should exist in the world — you should message people at companies who you think should be building it (DMs open!) lot of the time we are at places like Cloudflare and there is a TON of opportunity to build it with resources and leverage
