I tried to read the article, and had to go back and forth between reading about terms and etc, because I'm not _that_ familiar in the space. But previously I could understand Cloudflare's blog posts.

This one just feels... off. The buildup just doesn't feel right.

The fact that there is an Em Dash (sorry...) in the code tells me that it's at least AI assisted, which explains the vibe the article emanates.

And once I finally made it to the end I read the following:

> If you're interested in congestion control, transport protocols, or contributing to open-source networking code, check out the quiche repository. We're always looking for talented engineers who love digging into problems like these, please explore our open positions.

You don't add that to your blog-posts 5 days after laying off 20% of the company, regardless of whether they're sales people or engineers. If you want to add it, delay the post by 2 weeks.

Equally, there is only 1 role open in Engineering, and it's an intern role, posted yesterday:

https://www.cloudflare.com/careers/ (filter by Engineering).

Did they lay off their PR team as well?
