0:00.8 | Welcome to Syntax. |
0:02.5 | Today we have an episode on, we're going to call it full-stack Cloudflare, which is a big fan of Cloudflare. |
0:08.6 | We've got CJ on today. Scott's not feeling greatest, so CJ's filling in. |
0:13.2 | And turns out CJ also is a big Cloudflare fan, right, CJ? |
