#32Neat trick: just do job interviews when Cloudflare is down...

#33> A change made to how Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall parses requests caused Cloudflare's network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This was not an attack; the change was deployed by our team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components. We will share more information as we have it today.

#34https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.... reports that https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.com/ is down, guessing downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector runs via cloudflare!
No idea why the media always relies on/cites this useless site...

does this mean we can blame React Server Components for something new?

#37Edinburgh Airport is also down, suspending all flights after an "IT issue with our air traffic control provider". Not sure if this is coincidental, but the timing is rather suspicious!

#38You know what, maybe AI is taking all the goddamn jobs
They pretty much said this. All the big companies that had recent outages are companies that publicly embraced vibe coding.
This ignores all the companies that publicly embraced vibe coding and did NOT have outages. Not a huge fan of vibe coding, but let's keep the populism to minimum here.

Maybe the little plane icons on the ATC screens are a PNG hosted on some Cloudflare domain.

causality, causation, yadda yadda. They already explained that it was some react server component update. sure, could've also been done with some ai assist but we don't know.
These companies also don't vibe code (which would involve just prompting without editing code yourself, at least that's the most common definition).
I really hope news like these won't be followed by comments like these (not criticism of you personally) until the AI hype dies down a bit. It's getting really tiresome to always read the same oversimplified takes every time there's some outage involving centralized entities such as cloudflare instead of talking about the elephant in the room, which is their attempt of doing MITM on the majority of internet users.
