I sometimes feel we'd be better off without all the paternalistic kitchensink features. The solid, properly engineered features used intentionally aren't causing these outages.
Agreed, I don't really like Cloudflare trying to magically fix every web exploit there is in frameworks my site has never used.
Honestly. This feels outside of their domain.
I’ve been downvoted enough with my comments on this blog post where I’m hesitant to add anything else, but here I agree with you. They’re trying to be everything to everyone, where does the accountability of their customers being responsible for running, you know, up-to-date packages come in? Like, you don’t take just a little bit of pride in your work that you’re continually watching CVE lists and exploits and just have a minimum of effort toward patching your own shit, rather than pawning it off on vendor? I simply can’t understand the mindset.
The good news is that you can have that right now. Just don't use Cloudflare.
