"I don't need a lawyer, I just need this email that an LLM wrote for me to be sent **from** a lawyer so I get a response in Portugal." is something I have said twice this morning. Surely someone is building "lawyer sends your email for you as-a-service" out there.

Spent the morning talking to a few media companies in Manchester about AI content scraping. These conversations are completely different from a year ago when we first launched Cloudflare AI Audit. In 2024 the mood was “we aren’t sure what to do next but we’re curious!” Today’s

No better image to capture the squandered opportunities of Portuguese bureaucracy than automated passport machines still in shrink wrap months later in the middle of a multi-hour manual passport check line at Lisbon Airport.

Ok, I’m convinced. If you’re going home for the holidays this year your only job is setting a passphrase flow with your parents for future audio **or** video calls when discussing something important.

The highest return on your team's effort when adopting AI tools is prompt engineering office hours. Not even close. You don't need fancier tools or add-ons. Just sit with people from across the team, ask them what they're trying to automate, and work through it with them.

Cloudflare Radar now lets you explore data on a regional basis! Excited for the next time someone in Porto tweets at me about how much better Porto is than Lisbon and cites data here.

1/ Internships changed my life. At Google and Microsoft I was a sponge, reading everything I could get my hands on, asking questions, asking everyone for advice. 2/ Today at @Cloudflare we're scaling a similar internship opportunity. We aim to hire 1,111 interns in 2026. Why so
While others are cutting their intern programs we’re doubling down on ours. We want to train the next generation of technical leaders and also take advantage of 1,111 fresh eyes as we go through the massive shift to an AI-enabled workplace. #BirthdayWeek

Having @Cloudflare sponsoring Omarchy with free CDN, R2, and DDoS shield has been such a relief. Love when companies just decide to do things like this without needing a specific return. 52TB in traffic in just the last 72 hours! https://t.co/uwiB4GqFzp
