Engineering — Monte-Carlo simulations

Monte-Carlo simulations

Monte Carlo simulations (or methods ) is the technique of applying randomness and the Law of large numbers to the solution of various scientific and engineering problems. One of its first documented uses was by Stanislaw Ulam and John von Neumann for nuclear weapon simulations after WWII [1] . In this post …

Engineering — Summary of reading: July - September 2026

Summary of reading: July - September 2026

"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë - good writing, but the protagonists are quite something. There's barely a likable character in the whole story - they are all either crazy, evil, stupid or a combination of these. It's also remarkable to consider how small the world of some people in those times was …

Engineering — If we do not stop to help each other, what do we become?

If we do not stop to help each other, what do we become?

Yesterday, I received this email as a response to You Can't Vibe Code Love . It's such a remarkable and powerful statement that I asked permission to share it here, in its entirety, with personal information redacted: Hey Jeff, Hope you and your family are doing well.

Engineering — Notes on discrete-time Fourier series and transform

Notes on discrete-time Fourier series and transform

The following are my notes on discrete-time Fourier series (DTFS), as well as the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT). These topics serve as an important theoretical underpinning to the digital processing of signals by computers using the DFT (which will be covered in a future post). For discrete-time signals, we use …

Engineering — How well do agents use test/verification techniques?

How well do agents use test/verification techniques?

We previously noted that, while it's easier than ever to hit a particular quality bar by having coding agents use effective test techniques, software quality seems to be getting worse , indicating that whatever defaults developers are using may not work very well. Here, we test if simple instructions to agents to use particular techniques or libraries improve implementation correctness, as a kind

Engineering — You Can't "Vibe Code" Love

You Can't "Vibe Code" Love

About a year ago, I was offered a presentation slot at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin. I rarely take speaking engagements, especially international ones, but this one arrived at just the right time, the right place, and with the right person – I said yes, on the contingency that Ben Dumke-von der Ehe joins me in the presentation. Ben is an early community hire at Stack Overflow who l

Engineering — Unveiling good and bad behaviors on the Agentic Internet

Unveiling good and bad behaviors on the Agentic Internet

Cloudflare is shifting bot mitigation from point-in-time Risk assessment to continuous Trust evaluation. Learn how new good and bad behaviors from bots and agents are assessed by our systems, including BotBase and Precursor — and try out our Precursor Trace simulation to see how your own cursor movements would be assessed as human or bot.

Engineering — WriteGuard: Fine-grained controls for MCP Servers

WriteGuard: Fine-grained controls for MCP Servers

At Cloudflare, we knew we could not depend on every employee to configure every agent perfectly or watch every tool call. Before expanding write access across our own internal MCP servers, we built WriteGuard. We are now bringing those controls to Cloudflare MCP server portals through a private beta.
