Systems and developer-tools engineer at Cloudflare as of 2026, on durable infrastructure for AI agents; worked on React and PartyKit before that. Writes at sunilpai.dev.
overwhelmed by the response to this, I knew it was common but didn’t realise how badly people needed to see it acknowledged. fwiw, I learnt this most deeply on the react team; I joined what I thought was my dream job, and immediately failed in this fashion, leaving in a year. Quoting @threepointone new post: the senior engineer death spiral https://t.co/xzgU1jVBRh a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

This is huge! You all know I'm a huge Cloud Agents fan. Even joined the team! :) For the past months or so, I rarely opened any localhost agent. This new feature is especially very important and useful for workloads that were hard to support with custom environments only. Give it a try. Quoting @cursor_ai You can now run Cursor cloud agents on your infrastructure, including pools of machines that automatically scale with demand. This lets you give agents access to internal services or specialized hardware, while the agent loop stays in Cursor. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
