Whats going on with cloudflare's software team?

I have seen similar bugs in cloudflare API recently as well.

There is an endpoint for a feature that is available only to enterprise users, but the check for whether the user is on an enterprise plan is done at the last step.

I recently ran into an issue with the Cloudflare API feature that if you want to roll back requires contacting the support team because there's no way to roll it back with the API or GUI. Even when the exact issue was pointed out, it took multiple days to change the setting and to my knowledge there's still no API fix available.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean by "at the last step"

100%. Upper managements try to cut costs and hire remote bullshitters.

I'm not sure which endpoint gp meant, but as I understood it, as an example, imagine a three-way handshake that's only available to enterprise users. Instead of failing a regular user on the first step, they allow steps one and two, but then do the check on step three and fail there.

Agreed in re cost cutting, but there's no need to disparage those of us who don't want to be traffic for two hours every day.

The API endpoint I am talking about needs a external verification. they allow to do the external verification before checking if the user is on the enterprise plan or not.

The feature is only available to enterprise plans, it should not even allow external verification.

No, the original author left long time ago. And nobody understands some uncovered parts anymore.

I work remotely 100% too. I don't go to any office. That doesn't change the fact that most remote people are just using AI and bullshitting. Yes they are bullshitters. Don't need to be super soft about it, it is not like an LGBTQ+ subject. Many remote workers are shitty. There, I said it again. Most remote workers are shitty.
