Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

@JadedBlueEyes not to pile on matrix, but "Matrix is the gold standard for decentralized, end-to-end encrypted communication" also seems bold. I have never had a good experience using matrix, nor heard anyone describing one

@JadedBlueEyes to be very fair, I tried it a few times and do not interact with people who use it, so my sample size and experience is low. I would love if it overcame usability issues and replaced discord!!!

True (it's also my experience) but it’s still a huge deal that the German and French militaries are actually putting their weight behind Matrix...

@JadedBlueEyes this whole thing is so bad. The title makes it seem like they updated the matrix protocol to use post-quantum cryptography, but all they did was toggle a switch for cloudflare TLS connections

Holy crap. I would not expect this from an industry giant (Though I guess I should.)
That certainly shatters my trust in cloudflare a bit. #devops #programming #networking
Seeing two basically back-to-back Cloudfare outages is a span of a month last year, both of which had a really good technical blog posts - that boiled down to being a minor programmer error, got me suspicious that LLMs are involved.
I mean, I remember like 1 other CF outage before that, and two major outages in a month?
This kind of explains it. It's what happens when you turn to LLMs for your development (see i.e recent Windows bugs).
Tech will suck so much now

@JadedBlueEyes @joeress if you haven't seen this yet, I could see you discussing it on one or more of your podcasts

@matrix @JadedBlueEyes I do understand that matrix.org should really not pile on and at least maintain a good relationship with cloudflare, but this blogpost seems a bit too starry-eyed about cloudflare building a shitty excuse for a matrix server and having the audacity of calling their crap a "serverless" matrix server.
Also, like mentioned elsewhere in this thread: even if cf built something halfway decent, that really just gives them a position where they can vendorlock anyone who uses it.

@JadedBlueEyes I love how it uses post-quantum encryption to not authorize the requests
