What the design-to-code loop unlocks
With work moving more fluidly between code and canvas, workflows aren’t just changing—they’re converging.
What Is Code?
Code has two distinct but intertwined purposes. It is a set of instructions for a machine, and it is also a conceptual model of the problem domain. A well designed codebase is a representation of the vocabulary of a domain. These abstractions reveal themselves only as developers build the software. Programming languages act as thinking tools, enabling the construction of a conceptual model that su

How Cloudflare responded to the “Copy Fail” Linux vulnerability
When a critical Linux kernel privilege escalation was publicly disclosed, Cloudflare's security and engineering teams detected, investigated, and mitigated the threat across our global fleet, confirming zero customer impact and no malicious exploitation.
Improving token efficiency in GitHub Agentic Workflows
Agentic workflows that run on every pull request can quietly accumulate large API bills. Here’s how we instrumented our own production workflows, found the inefficiencies, and built agents to fix them.
Agent pull requests are everywhere. Here’s how to review them.
A practical guide to reviewing agent-generated pull requests: what to look for, where issues hide, and how to catch technical debt before it ships.
