alt Hacker Newsbeen 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.

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.
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.

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.
