Cloudflare is one of the most important infrastructure companies in the world. It protects all kinds of apps and services from bad actors on the internet, basically making it possible to operate a business online. Matthew last joined us on the show about two and a half years ago. What we thought then was a wild pivot point for the internet. But now, because of AI, it turns out things are even wilder, and Matthew and Cloudflare are right at the center of it.
