Coming to the comments to brag about ignoring something you clearly didn't ignore (given that you're here in the comments) is actually pretty abnormal behavior. Normal people don't jerk themselves off about being edgy in public. Hope this helps!

Brag? Edgy? You are delusional.

Technical blogs from infrastructure companies used to serve two purposes: demonstrate expertise and build trust. When the posts start overpromising, you lose both. I don't know enough about this specific implementation to say whether "implemented Matrix" is accurate or marketing stretch. But the pattern of "we did X" blog posts that turn out to be "we did a demo of part of X" is getting tiresome across the industry.…

There was a third purpose (or perhaps a combination of those two): recruiting. There is a lot less recruiting happening these days.

It makes you question how much rigor and code quality made it into their earlier "mission critical" engineering work.

Considering how many times I've heard "don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough" when the code I have is not only incomplete but doesn't even do most of the things asked (yet), I'd wager quite a lot

I don't know what's more embarrassing the deed itself, not recognizing the bullshit produced or the hastly attempt of a cover up. Not a good look for Cloudflare does nobody read the content they put out? You can just pretend to have done something and they will release it on their blog, yikes.

Covering it up for sure. We all make mistakes. We all make idiots out of ourselves. But you have to take ownership and own up to move on.

Covering it up changes it from being dumb to being deceptive

In 2026, you should be implementing MLS instead of Matrix.

what? that's like saying "you should implement TLS instead of HTTP"! They do entirely different things: MLS is a key agreement protocol, equivalent to the Double Ratchet that Matrix uses for E2EE today. Matrix can use both.

Terrible analogy.

MLS is an IETF standard. The server is easy to write, and easy to make scalable (no complicated merge algorithm required, unlike Matrix). Finally, individual chatrooms scale to an order of magnitude larger size vs. Matrix.

MLS is superior in every way to Matrix as it exists today if you need to implement encrypted chat rooms for your app.

Source: Guy who has implemented both, including extending Matrix to scale the server to Twitter scale (by, in essence, making it working like MLS, only worse due to the merge algorithm).

I call it like I see it ;)

Glad you don't think the part about you jerking off is delusional, at least!
