Um so [sighs] this is where though I have to give a little bit of an apology. Um so a couple of months ago when I submitted the the uh the proposal for this talk. This was like a side project I was working on and the plan was I was going to come here and I was going to present it and then I was just at the end of the talk going to ye it onto GitHub so that everyone could go and download and play with it themselves. In the last couple of weeks um there's been a lot of excitement inside Cloudflare and this has become a more serious project. And so last Thursday Dne our CTO pulled me uh into a room and said Kenton I don't think you should yeet this. I don't think this is yeet material. I think we need a uh we need to be more careful and disciplined and intentional about how we release this. So, let's hold it off for a few weeks. And I was pretty upset about that because I promised in the abstract that I was going to open source it, but sorry. Uh that's not happening today. It will happen soon though.
