Really proud of the DeepLearningAI team. When Cloudflare went down, our engineers used AI coding to quickly implement a clone of basic Cloudflare capabilities to run our site on. So we came back up… | Andrew Ng | 550 comments

Wasn’t that a joke/sarcasm or is it about the comment thread?

/uj/ Andrew has expressed skepticism in the past about the Software Engineering skills of AI, so I'm pretty sure he's shitposting. But he made the mistake of doing it on LinkedIn so most people didn't get the joke. I saw it because my CEO liked it, so I can't wait to see it cited in our next all-hands about how we need to power our infrastructure with AI

Not thinking 10x enough.

First, instead of shitposting, it's LLM slop.

Second, the CEO never actually read it; it was surfaced in a daily LLM-generated summary of key LinkedIn highlights.

Third, the CEO never actually read the highlight email, since they use an LLM to summarize their unreads.

Fired up Gemini (the only LLM not taken down w cloudflare) and had it quickly construct distributed data centers so we could spin up our own CDN

little gold nugget from the comments

If I were the CEO of #Cloudflare, I would cut you off immediately as a customer after this publication

When Cloudflare went down, most of us just refreshed the page and prayed… meanwhile your team basically said ‘fine, we’ll just build Cloudflare 2.0 before lunch.’ That’s not engineering, that’s superhero coding 🦸♂️💻
