been at cf for 7 yrs but thinking of gtfo soon. the ceo is a manchild, new cto is an idiot, rest of leadership was replaced by yes-men, and the push for AI-first is being a disaster. c levels pretend they care about reliability but pressure teams to constantly ship, cto vibe codes terraform changes without warning anyone, and it's overall a bigger and bigger mess

even the blog, that used to be a respected source of technical content, has morphed into a garbage fire of slop and vaporware announcements since jgc left.

Do you feel that Matthew Prince is still technically active/informed? I've interacted with him in the past and he seemed relatively technically grounded, but that doesn't seem as true these days.

I’ve had a lot of problems lately. Basic things are failing and it’s like product isn’t involved at all in the dash. What’s worse? The support.. the chat is the buggiest thing I’ve ever seen.

		don't worry, if it gets much worse the ceo will just throw all of support under the bus again. it will surely get better.

You know what they say, shit rolls downhill. I don't personally know the CEO, but the feeling I have got from their public fits on social media doesn't instill confidence.

If I was a CF customer I would be migrating off now.

Checks out with what we have seen from the outside.

		exactly. recently "if the cto is shipping more than you, you're doing something wrong" cto can't even articulate a sentence without passing it through an LLM, and instead of doing his job he's posting the stupidest shit to his personal bootlicking chat channel. I cringe every time at the brown-nosers that inhabit that hovel. no words for what the product org is becoming too. they should take their own advice a bit further and just replace all the leadership with an LLM, it would be cheaper and it's the same shit in practice
