I wrote this after following the ongoing back-and-forth between Vercel and Cloudflare on Twitter- the benchmarks, the pricing arguments, the memes.

It struck me that the fight isn’t really about performance or cost; it’s about philosophy.

Cloudflare believes good developer experience starts with visibility and control. Vercel believes it starts with empathy and flow.

Curious how others here think about this: - Do you prefer abstraction or transparency when building? - Has either platform changed how you think about deploying or designing apps?
