<p>I know cisco doesn't do yearly vesting but at the companies that follow yearly vesting, losing job a week or a month or even 6 months before next vesting date is absolutely wage theft unless they do a full or pro-rated vesting of shares in the upcoming tranche.</p>

<p>> Onboarding my non-software engineer teammates to it has super-charged them and essentially given them all their own personal developer that can automate tasks for them.<p>This is probably fine as long as the code is acting on local resources. The moment you have vibe coded software interacting with shared state or database the risk increases exponentially and all it takes to have a bad day is a poorly worded prompt from one of those users.<p>Some oversight by humans or automated guardrails will probably reduce those instances.</p>

<p>I want point out the other aspect of that decision to use cloudflare because the content is already public.<p>If your users are in a sanctioned region or a sanctioned entity it is entirely possible for cloudflare to deny serving them traffic. In a way your website users are still bound to the US policies even if you or your country doesnt approve of those sanctions.</p>

<p>May be they want to sell it to law enforcement as a model that can identify suspicious activities. It needs to know how and why something is suspicious to flag.<p>or its just lets gobble everything and figure out the guardrails later kind of approach.</p>

<p>Last month there was a heartbreaking news about a < 6 month old baby being snatched away by a leopard while the baby was sleeping next to the parent and the parent realized her baby was missing only much later.<p>I imagine the predator situation would have been much worse during the early human evolution years. I don't know if that was a beneficial trait or not in that environment.<p>As a parent, I just wonder what-if.</p>
