“The issue was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a cyber attack on Cloudflare’s systems or malicious activity of any kind. Instead, it was triggered by changes being made to our body parsing logic while attempting to detect and mitigate an industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components.” https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage/

“We laid off our best site reliability engineer, and now we cannot apply security patches without downtime.”

we must go deeper: https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.com/
But who checks the checker’s checker’s checker’s checker?
How far does this go?
Could just add the deepest to downdetector and complete the loop.
But would it still be the deepest one shortly after posting?
I’ve read the blogs about what caused it, and all of them were programmer errors. Twice within one month, while it never happened before for as long as I remember. Hmm.
Let me guess - Cloudfare has recently started using AI as part of their development process.
