The developer just "cleaned up the code comments", i.e. they removed all TODOs from the code: https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commit/2d3969dd... Professionalism at its finest!

Honestly, it is a little scary to see someone with a serious DevSecOps background ship an AI project that looks this sloppy and unreviewed. It makes you question how much rigor and code quality made it into their earlier "mission critical" engineering work.

I also use this as a simple heuristic: https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commits/main/ There exist only two commits. I've never seen a "real" project that looks like this.

To be honest sometimes on my hobby project I don’t commit anything in the beginning (I know not great strategy) and then just dump everything in one large commit.

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.…

To be fair, the technical posts from Cloudflare are usually very insightful .

That's demonstrating expertise

nkuntz1934 Senior Engineering TPM @ Cloudflare Of course, this is done by a manager. Classic corporate mindset, I can do what these smelly nerds do every day, hold my bear. He doesn't even know how git works, huh? What a clown.

TPM isn't manager. It's basically a PM, but they're (supposed) to be technical

they should have at least rebased it and removed from git history

I’ve also been guilty of plugging at something, and squashing it all before publishing for the first time because I look at the log and I go “no way I can release this, or untangle it into any sort of usefulness”.
