Then did developer tooling and the CLI at Cloudflare the first time. Left to found PartyKit — open-source deployment platform for real-time multiplayer apps and AI agents, built on Cloudflare Durable Objects. Backed by Sequoia. Acquired by Cloudflare in 2024 , and he came back as a Principal Systems Engineer (per his bio: \"Worked at Cloudflare once, left…","meta_description":"Hey yall, Alex here (with a scheduled post) I’m taking this week off to get married and celebrate life with family, and touch some grass, but wanted to sh…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3198,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/thursdai-the-top-ai-news-from-the-past-week-6519604/episodes/thursdai-may-7-interviews-with-sunil-pai-sally-ann-omalley-from-ai-engineer-europe/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/thursdai-the-top-ai-news-from-the-past-week-6519604/thursdai-may-7-interviews-with-sunil-pai-sally-ann-omalley-from-ai-engineer-europe.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
