This Week in Net: Developer opportunities, new AI-driven programmers (and a bit of TCP)

Welcome to our weekly review of stories from our blog and other sources, covering a range of topics from product announcements, tools and features to disruptions on the Internet. João Tomé is joined by our CTO, John Graham-Cumming.

In this week's program, we delve into the fruitful aftermath of our Developer Week. We received valuable feedback and announced the second cohort of the Workers Launchpad, featuring incredible companies building on Cloudflare's Developer Platform. Additionally, we launched our new Open Source Software Sponsorships Program.

We also explore a piece of Internet history related to TCP, followed by a deep dive blog where we discuss how we optimized the performance of our systems to address the memory usage situation in TCP sessions. And last but not least, we explore the transformative power of AI in programming, examining how it will revolutionize the "who" and "how" of the programming world.
