The Standup with ThePrimeagenCloudflare CTO talks AI, Opensource and the FutureShip with confidence. Try Sentry: https://trm.sh/sentryThis week on The Standup, we sit down with the team behind Cloudflare’s “Vinext” experiment an attempt to bring the Next.js API surface onto a completely different runtime.

Become an Epic Product EngineerFoundations, feedback, and agents — Dillon Mulroy on product at CloudflareKent talks with Dillon Mulroy, Principal Engineer at Cloudflare, about Agent Experience and dogfooding AI platform work: how Cloudflare closes the loop between builders and customers, why observability and support are product superpowers, and how to stay disciplined when agents tempt you to ship huge diffs overnight.
They go deep on watching users work, firehose social feedback, partnering with support, and why “make pain painful” aligns incentives for better software.

The Food ProgrammeWomen & BeerThink beer. Think boys with beards? Think again. The last time Sheila Dillon reported on the women in British beer, in 2013, she met Sara Barton head brewer at Brewster's brewery in Lincolnshire. At the time Sara was the only woman head brewer in the country and women were drinking only a tenth of all the beer sold in the UK. Today that figure has nearly tripled, Sara has become the first woman to be named 'Brewer of the Year' by the Guild of Beer Writers, and women all around the UK are turning to jobs in brewing.
