Looking forward to Matt Mullenweg going nuclear on Cloudflare. I should probably make some popcorn.

Dear anyone on the Axios side of Axios vs. Fetch: Fetch won, now stop using third party libraries for things JS can already do.

You don't need dependencies for things JS can already do.

Even if that means writing a 10 line utility function. You already have a utils.js/utils.ts, literally because you didn't want to use third party dependencies for what's in that file already.

Being 100x faster than an intern is meaningless if you don't fucking do what you're being asked to do, then lie about having done the thing you were asked to do.

Yes this is obviously a comment about coding AIs
