Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince published a column in The Wall Street Journal titled: "How I Choose Which Employees to Replace with AI". Cloudflare just laid off about 1,100 people, one-fifth of its workforce, marking the company's first major layoff in 16 years. Meanwhile, Cloudflare hired 1,111 interns this year, roughly equivalent to the number of people they laid off - essentially replacing old employees with new ones.
