Cloudflare is Down | Build in public E170

Okay, so this is probably going to be Okay, so this is probably going to be Okay, so this is probably going to be one of my shortest videos. Yeah, so it’s one of my shortest videos. Yeah, so it’s one of my shortest videos. Yeah, so it’s not going well. Today I launched my uh not going well. Today I launched my uh not going well. Today I launched my uh fourth fourth fourth project in my 25 projects in 25 weeks project in my 25 projects in 25 weeks project in my 25 projects in 25 weeks challenge. And look, look at the um challenge. And look, look at the um challenge. And look, look at the um yeah, look look what’s happening. So yeah, look look what’s happening. So yeah, look look what’s happening. So let’s talk about this. What is going on? let’s talk about this. What is going on? let’s talk about this. What is going on? Um, Um, Um, Cloud Flare is Cloud Flare is Cloud Flare is down like really really really badly. down like really really really badly. down like really really really badly. And Cloudflare is like And Cloudflare is like And Cloudflare is like 20 to 30% of the internet. So like 20 to 30% of the internet. So like 20 to 30% of the internet. So like literally 30% of all the internet is literally 30% of all the internet is literally 30% of all the internet is down. I’m sure you’ve realized this if down. I’m sure you’ve realized this if down. I’m sure you’ve realized this if you are watching this video. Yeah, you are watching this video. Yeah, you are watching this video. Yeah, perfect timing. Uh, so let’s like look. perfect timing. Uh, so let’s like look. perfect timing. Uh, so let’s like look. This is all of my projects that I’ve This is all of my projects that I’ve This is all of my projects that I’ve been working on the last couple years. been working on the last couple years. been working on the last couple years. Um, Um, Um, like almost everything is down. This is like almost everything is down. This is like almost everything is down. This is up. And by the way, there’s a Black up. And by the way, there’s a Black up. And by the way, there’s a Black Friday sale for the rest of the month if Friday sale for the rest of the month if Friday sale for the rest of the month if you’re interested. Lifetime deal. Um, you’re interested. Lifetime deal. Um, you’re interested. Lifetime deal. Um, pretty good deal. You pay once forever. pretty good deal. You pay once forever. pretty good deal. You pay once forever. Uh Uh Uh that’s up but like okay so some of the stuff is up but like okay so some of the stuff is up but like okay so some of the stuff is up but a lot of it like half half of all my but a lot of it like half half of all my but a lot of it like half half of all my websites are down websites are down websites are down pretty much all the projects that I’m pretty much all the projects that I’m pretty much all the projects that I’m working on for my so these are the first working on for my so these are the first working on for my so these are the first four projects those are down and let’s four projects those are down and let’s four projects those are down and let’s talk about this because it’s kind of talk about this because it’s kind of talk about this because it’s kind of interesting uh I am self-hosting a lot interesting uh I am self-hosting a lot interesting uh I am self-hosting a lot and even the self-hosted stuff is down. and even the self-hosted stuff is down. and even the self-hosted stuff is down. Like that’s how bad it is. Like these Like that’s how bad it is. Like these Like that’s how bad it is. Like these are hosted on um they’re hosted directly are hosted on um they’re hosted directly are hosted on um they’re hosted directly on Cloudflare. This is self-hosted and on Cloudflare. This is self-hosted and on Cloudflare. This is self-hosted and it’s still down. Um why? Because it’s still down. Um why? Because it’s still down. Um why? Because uh there’s a proxy to cache some of the uh there’s a proxy to cache some of the uh there’s a proxy to cache some of the the the all it’s doing is caching some the the all it’s doing is caching some the the all it’s doing is caching some of the um front-end assets. And it’s of the um front-end assets. And it’s of the um front-end assets. And it’s also uh it it it does use turn style. So also uh it it it does use turn style. So also uh it it it does use turn style. So like a capture to to stop people from like a capture to to stop people from like a capture to to stop people from the sign up form that you just adding the sign up form that you just adding the sign up form that you just adding that on the page is breaking things. So that on the page is breaking things. So that on the page is breaking things. So it this is a really serious outage. Um it this is a really serious outage. Um it this is a really serious outage. Um tons and tons of stuff is not working tons and tons of stuff is not working tons and tons of stuff is not working for me. Um pretty frustrating. So this for me. Um pretty frustrating. So this for me. Um pretty frustrating. So this went out in my newsletter random daily went out in my newsletter random daily went out in my newsletter random daily URLs and people clicked on it and it’s URLs and people clicked on it and it’s URLs and people clicked on it and it’s it’s down. So, not not fun. It’s a it’s down. So, not not fun. It’s a it’s down. So, not not fun. It’s a frustrating day. Um, so why why are all frustrating day. Um, so why why are all frustrating day. Um, so why why are all these outages happening these outages happening these outages happening because there was just a really big AWS because there was just a really big AWS because there was just a really big AWS one. I know there’s been an Azure one. one. I know there’s been an Azure one. one. I know there’s been an Azure one. That’s um uh Microsoft’s cloud service. That’s um uh Microsoft’s cloud service. That’s um uh Microsoft’s cloud service. A lot of Chad GBT supposedly runs on A lot of Chad GBT supposedly runs on A lot of Chad GBT supposedly runs on that, but they’re trying to get away that, but they’re trying to get away that, but they’re trying to get away from that. Why? I I’m pretty convinced from that. Why? I I’m pretty convinced from that. Why? I I’m pretty convinced it’s a combination of things. There has it’s a combination of things. There has it’s a combination of things. There has there have been there have been a lot of there have been there have been a lot of there have been there have been a lot of layoffs. layoffs. layoffs. Lot of layoffs. Lot of layoffs. Lot of layoffs. Um Um Um when I went through a layoff at my last when I went through a layoff at my last when I went through a layoff at my last job, I survived actually multiple rounds job, I survived actually multiple rounds job, I survived actually multiple rounds of layoffs. I noticed it was not on of layoffs. I noticed it was not on of layoffs. I noticed it was not on here. I knew other people getting laid here. I knew other people getting laid here. I knew other people getting laid off from other small startups and off from other small startups and off from other small startups and companies. It was not on here. So this companies. It was not on here. So this companies. It was not on here. So this is just a snapshot of the bigger is just a snapshot of the bigger is just a snapshot of the bigger companies. This is not this is not companies. This is not this is not companies. This is not this is not covering all of tech at all. Like at covering all of tech at all. Like at covering all of tech at all. Like at all. I know for a fact I I know multiple all. I know for a fact I I know multiple all. I know for a fact I I know multiple people who have been fired and their people who have been fired and their people who have been fired and their data is not on here in the last couple data is not on here in the last couple data is not on here in the last couple years. So this is like the tip of the years. So this is like the tip of the years. So this is like the tip of the iceberg kind of thing. Like the top half iceberg kind of thing. Like the top half iceberg kind of thing. Like the top half of the iceberg. There’s so much it’s so of the iceberg. There’s so much it’s so of the iceberg. There’s so much it’s so much worse than this. So what is what is much worse than this. So what is what is much worse than this. So what is what is going on? Why are these outages going on? Why are these outages going on? Why are these outages happening? I my theory is it’s a happening? I my theory is it’s a happening? I my theory is it’s a culmination of massive turmoil in the culmination of massive turmoil in the culmination of massive turmoil in the tech industry, lots of layoffs, lots of tech industry, lots of layoffs, lots of tech industry, lots of layoffs, lots of vibe coding, lots of people just kind of vibe coding, lots of people just kind of vibe coding, lots of people just kind of like outsourcing their thinking and and like outsourcing their thinking and and like outsourcing their thinking and and brain power mixed with uh kind of the brain power mixed with uh kind of the brain power mixed with uh kind of the start of the holiday season. I think all start of the holiday season. I think all start of the holiday season. I think all of these thing and mixed with like just of these thing and mixed with like just of these thing and mixed with like just kind of a weird vibe happening right now kind of a weird vibe happening right now kind of a weird vibe happening right now of like for me my perspective and I I’m of like for me my perspective and I I’m of like for me my perspective and I I’m not living in the US but it’s just like not living in the US but it’s just like not living in the US but it’s just like this really negative vibe of almost like this really negative vibe of almost like this really negative vibe of almost like things are collapsing is really the vibe things are collapsing is really the vibe things are collapsing is really the vibe that I get but I’m like an extremely p that I get but I’m like an extremely p that I get but I’m like an extremely p perceptive person. I see things way way perceptive person. I see things way way perceptive person. I see things way way way way before other people. That’s the way way before other people. That’s the way way before other people. That’s the vibe I’m getting. It’s like this almost vibe I’m getting. It’s like this almost vibe I’m getting. It’s like this almost apathetic neolistic apathetic neolistic apathetic neolistic like who cares, [  ] it. And I my theory like who cares, [  ] it. And I my theory like who cares, [  ] it. And I my theory is it’s a combination of all those is it’s a combination of all those is it’s a combination of all those things happening because it’s very things happening because it’s very things happening because it’s very telling that the Amazon uh AWS telling that the Amazon uh AWS telling that the Amazon uh AWS outage like last month or a few weeks outage like last month or a few weeks outage like last month or a few weeks ago was after a huge tech layoff. I’m ago was after a huge tech layoff. I’m ago was after a huge tech layoff. I’m I’m still actually quite bullish on um I’m still actually quite bullish on um I’m still actually quite bullish on um Cloudflare. Like I’ve moved a lot of Cloudflare. Like I’ve moved a lot of Cloudflare. Like I’ve moved a lot of stuff over the to them. I thought, well, stuff over the to them. I thought, well, stuff over the to them. I thought, well, you know, if that goes down, all the you know, if that goes down, all the you know, if that goes down, all the internet’s down and well, yeah. internet’s down and well, yeah. internet’s down and well, yeah. So, anyways, that’s all I got for today. So, anyways, that’s all I got for today. So, anyways, that’s all I got for today. I will launch this. I’ll put I’ll put a I will launch this. I’ll put I’ll put a I will launch this. I’ll put I’ll put a link in the description, but this is it. link in the description, but this is it. link in the description, but this is it. There’ll be a video tomorrow because There’ll be a video tomorrow because There’ll be a video tomorrow because yeah, [  ] it. It’s no use today. All yeah, [  ] it. It’s no use today. All yeah, [  ] it. It’s no use today. All right, really quickly, my random story right, really quickly, my random story right, really quickly, my random story for today. Uh, if you haven’t noticed, I for today. Uh, if you haven’t noticed, I for today. Uh, if you haven’t noticed, I am trying to grow my beard back. Um, am trying to grow my beard back. Um, am trying to grow my beard back. Um, I’ve suffered really badly the last I’ve suffered really badly the last I’ve suffered really badly the last several years with like really bad several years with like really bad several years with like really bad alopeesia. Thank god not my the top of alopeesia. Thank god not my the top of alopeesia. Thank god not my the top of my head. That’s not why I’m wearing a my head. That’s not why I’m wearing a my head. That’s not why I’m wearing a hat, by the way. It’s like only only on hat, by the way. It’s like only only on hat, by the way. It’s like only only on the facial hair. I’ve done a lot of work the facial hair. I’ve done a lot of work the facial hair. I’ve done a lot of work to try to like work on my health, figure to try to like work on my health, figure to try to like work on my health, figure out nutrition, figure out like why um out nutrition, figure out like why um out nutrition, figure out like why um and how to stop the alopecia. It is a and how to stop the alopecia. It is a and how to stop the alopecia. It is a lot better. So, my my growing of the lot better. So, my my growing of the lot better. So, my my growing of the beard is to try to see how how far I’ve beard is to try to see how how far I’ve beard is to try to see how how far I’ve come. You can see some patches. come. You can see some patches. come. You can see some patches. Weirdly, there is some hair, but it’s Weirdly, there is some hair, but it’s Weirdly, there is some hair, but it’s like white hair, but it is like kind of like white hair, but it is like kind of like white hair, but it is like kind of growing back in. So, this is the best growing back in. So, this is the best growing back in. So, this is the best like my alipatia has been in the last like my alipatia has been in the last like my alipatia has been in the last several years. And I don’t think it’s a several years. And I don’t think it’s a several years. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this has happened after coincidence that this has happened after coincidence that this has happened after I stopped working full-time in I stopped working full-time in I stopped working full-time in professionally as a software engineer in professionally as a software engineer in professionally as a software engineer in tech. So, that it kind of ties into this tech. So, that it kind of ties into this tech. So, that it kind of ties into this like what a weird coincidence. I’ve like what a weird coincidence. I’ve like what a weird coincidence. I’ve stopped and I’m trying to do like stopped and I’m trying to do like stopped and I’m trying to do like experimental fun art stuff instead. Not experimental fun art stuff instead. Not experimental fun art stuff instead. Not really art, but like really cool weird really art, but like really cool weird really art, but like really cool weird things I actually want to work on not things I actually want to work on not things I actually want to work on not working for someone else. What a weird working for someone else. What a weird working for someone else. What a weird coincidence that after stop stopping coincidence that after stop stopping coincidence that after stop stopping that my alopecia seems to be better. that my alopecia seems to be better. that my alopecia seems to be better. Just uh h yeah what a coincidence, huh? I know um some what a coincidence, huh? I know um some what a coincidence, huh? I know um some really good software engineers who are really good software engineers who are really good software engineers who are at a high level. They started their at a high level. They started their at a high level. They started their careers about when I did. Um, I know careers about when I did. Um, I know careers about when I did. Um, I know some people really like high up who are some people really like high up who are some people really like high up who are not who who’ve been laid off, who’ve not who who’ve been laid off, who’ve not who who’ve been laid off, who’ve been fired. Um, this has just gotten been fired. Um, this has just gotten been fired. Um, this has just gotten worse in the last few years. This has worse in the last few years. This has worse in the last few years. This has not gotten better. It is so bad. Um, it’s it’s not good. it’s it’s not good. it’s it’s not good. I I know multiple people who are I I know multiple people who are I I know multiple people who are struggling to find work right now. So, struggling to find work right now. So, struggling to find work right now. So, yeah. Um, that’s kind of why I’m doing yeah. Um, that’s kind of why I’m doing yeah. Um, that’s kind of why I’m doing what I’m doing, by the way, because I what I’m doing, by the way, because I what I’m doing, by the way, because I don’t want to be dependent on this. Uh, don’t want to be dependent on this. Uh, don’t want to be dependent on this. Uh, I just want to go my own way. So, that’s I just want to go my own way. So, that’s I just want to go my own way. So, that’s all I got for today. Hopefully see you all I got for today. Hopefully see you all I got for today. Hopefully see you tomorrow.
