CLOUDFLARE CEO EXPLAINS HOW HE CHOSE WHICH EMPLOYEES TO LAY OFF DUE TO AI This man just laid off 1,100 people during Cloudflare's best quarter in company history. $639.8 million in revenue. 34% growth. Record free cash flow. He then wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed explaining how he decided which employees to replace with AI. His framework: every company has 1) builders (engineers) 2) sellers (salespeople) 3) measurers (middle managers, operations, HR, finance, analytics) According to him: AI replaces the measurers. He admitted he could not find a single example in U.S. business history of a public company growing at 30%+ that simultaneously cut 20%+ of its workforce. So he made himself the first. The stock dropped 24% before rebounding steadily the past two weeks. Nearly 1 million people applied for 1,111 Cloudflare internships. He cited that as a sign of opportunity. Read that ratio again. That is 900 rejections for every single acceptance. So, I wonder: if AI truly made your employees more productive, wouldn't the rational move be to keep them and capture more output? You only cut if this is about margins. Not transformation. Margins. Cloudflare has over a dozen roles open in India on LinkedIn, and has filed for 251 H-1B employees in the past 24 months.

AI isn’t going to take all jobs. But it will fulfill the prophesy of Peter Drucker from 71 years ago: more builders, more sellers, fewer measurers. wsj.com/opinion/how-i-…

The Husky
The Husky@Mr_Husky1·
A dog failed his service dog exam, and was later seen at a train station carrying the reason why. People at the station couldn’t stop staring when the dog walked onto the train with a stuffed elephant held proudly in his mouth. At first, everyone thought it was part of his training. But his owner started laughing and explained the truth. The dog had been training to become a service dog, but during one of his final tests, he kept getting distracted by an elephant plushie nearby. Instead of staying focused, he tried to steal it like it was the only thing in the room that mattered. That was the moment he failed. But his owner said he couldn’t be mad. The dog had tried his best, and even if he wasn’t meant to be a service dog, he was still loyal, gentle, and full of love. So before they left, he bought him the elephant toy. That night, the dog didn’t pass the exam, but he still went home with the person who chose him anyway.

I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

THIS GUY VIBE CODED A WEBSITE WHERE ANYONE ON THE INTERNET CAN FEED HIS CAT you go to the site, press a button, and his cat's automatic feeder dispenses food in real time there's a live camera so you can watch the cat walk up and eat what you just gave it and it's not just his cat. other cat owners can connect their feeders too so you can feed random cats around the world from your browser he's also adding computer vision to detect when a cat is actually near the feeder so only videos with cats in them get shown at the top a weight scale and cat recognition is also being added for a "greed leaderboard" tracking which cat eats the most completely useless, zero business model, and no monetization strategy and yet this is the kind of weird internet project that goes viral overnight because everyone immediately gets it and wants to try it (including me)

Deedy@deedydas·
The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen. Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation). Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there. Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI. As a result, 1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb. Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more. 2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future). Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire" 3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed. Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies. 4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either. No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money." I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here. Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success". Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

Big Brain AI@realBigBrainAI·
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on why engineers will soon be paid in tokens, not just salary: Jensen lays out a future where compute access becomes part of an engineer's compensation package. "I could totally imagine in the future every single engineer in our company will need an annual token budget," he says. He explains how the math would work: "They're going to make a few hundred thousand a year their base pay. I'm going to give them probably half of that on top of it as tokens so that they could be amplified 10x. Of course, we would." According to Huang, this is already changing how companies compete for talent: "It is now one of the recruiting tools in Silicon Valley. How many tokens comes along with my job?" His reasoning is simple: tokens make engineers more productive. As he puts it, "every engineer that has access to tokens will be more productive and those tokens as you know will be produced by AI factories that all of you and us we partner to build." Huang then zooms out to describe how this reshapes the nature of companies themselves: "Every single enterprise company in today sit on top of file systems and data centers. Every single software company of the future will be agentic and they will be token manufacturers. They be token users for their engineers and they'll be token manufacturers for all of their customers."

A software engineer at Atlassian got laid off in March after 8 years. His response: a 38-minute YouTube video showing how the company's entire tech works, free for anyone to copy. That same quarter, Atlassian's revenue hit $1.79 billion, a record. His name is Vasilios Syrakis. He worked in Sydney on Atlassian's digital plumbing: the system that handles the company's web traffic, made up of about 2,000 programs running across 13 regions of the world. Every time someone clicks on Atlassian's software, the system Syrakis worked on decides which of those servers answers. Atlassian's own engineering blog wrote about his team's work in February 2025. On Sunday, Syrakis walked through the whole architecture on YouTube, every box on the diagram. The financial picture doesn't fit the layoff story. Atlassian's cloud business grew 29% year over year last quarter. The company has 350,000 customers, including 80% of the Fortune 500. None of that looks like a company that needs to cut a tenth of its staff to "self-fund AI investment," as the CEO put it in March. In the six months before the layoffs, CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes sold 866,145 of his own shares for roughly $134 million. Co-founder Scott Farquhar sold exactly the same number on the same schedule. The board also approved spending $2.5 billion to buy back Atlassian stock from the market, a move that props up the share price. The shares still fell 56% this year. Investors think AI lets companies do more work with fewer employees, and Atlassian charges its customers per employee. Sam Altman called this practice "AI washing" in February. Of the 1.2 million American jobs cut in 2025, only 55,000 blamed AI. The rest had different reasons, or none at all. The engineer who helped build Atlassian's plumbing is now teaching the internet how it works, for free, because he no longer has a paycheck to protect.
