well, i guess that someone needs to be the first one doing a full-browser inside of console.logs (a browser that runs on workers!) try it for yourself: kitesurf.dev/console (also bonus points for being doing a browser in a browser playing doom)
Someone is going to be the first person to beat Doom in the devtools console, and it might as well be you console.log rendering knows no bounds textjs.org/doom

Ah now it makes sense why the Portuguese government is okay with our people going away, we are not from the good universities as well
The reason for the rejection was his degree “didn’t prove he was technical enough.” He has a computer engineering degree from the University of Illinois. I asked ChatGPT where it ranked worldwide and it said 5th behind only Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon. So I guess only apply for Portuguese technical residency visa if you’re from one of those four.

So let me get this straight, we decide that our students leave the country because our salaries are low and cost of living is increasing Across an engineering fields our industry is lacking. People like me, were faced with a decision go away to find a better job both in salary and in the magnitude of the problems we get to work on James is a good friend, an amazing engineer and manager. We are trying to get a good pipeline for young software engineer students to intern with us every year And we decided that he does not have the qualifications? Two years ago I made a decision either leave the country or Cloudflare, Cloudflare took me in, I have a wonderful job where I get to work with people like James and on problems where the scale is global things that I only dared to dream about when I was in university I don't understand, I am very disappointed with my country yet again, you steal our dreams and don't want those who enabled them here
just received notice that an Eng leader here at Cloudflare who moved to Portugal from the US has had his residency permit denied in the months he has been waiting for one, he has hired five full-time engineers and six interns here in Lisbon. alongside the hundreds of others we employ here @govpt @mpresidencia_pt the immigration insanity here is making it increasingly hard to just operate a tech office in Lisbon much less grow one

This is amazing thanks DO team
Your Durable Objects no longer get interrupted while handing requests after you deploy a new version Instead, they will be updated when the object next hibernates. By default, they will be allowed 5 minutes to hibernate before a forced update, configurable up to 24 hours!

There seems to be a thing missing right? 👀👀👀 Missing destinations?
Me and a band of plucky misfits (@maks_mak_0 and a few others), codename the Alertocats 🙀, have started rebuilding Cloudflare's whole notifications and alerting experience. First up: a brand new UI. Find it in the dash at Observability → Alerts 👇

When a staff level engineer sets their mind to something shit happens
A lot of folks have asked for Spend management limits on @Cloudflare for some time now I've spent the last three months rebuilding our billing usage platform to enable this for our product catalog starting with Workers and Durable Objects and I'm pleased to give you a quick sneak peek 🫣 Shipping on Cloudflare for humans and agents shortly along with an engineering deep dive on how we did it Send me or @irvinebroque a DM if you want to try it early

The side quest had a hidden hockey stick, turns out hockey sticks are not that fun

workers builds posts describe BuildBuddy DOs managing build lifecycles. would be interested with workflows now in the mix what moved over and what stayed in DOs? refs: blog.cloudflare.com/workers-… blog.cloudflare.com/detectin…
