And what’s on his wishlist for the future? Plus, a rapid-fire round of questions about the power of sharing in the corporate world.\nJoin us for a candid conversation with someone who has seen — and helped shape — the Internet as we know it, and who loves telling stories about how it all began — from silicon chips to the age of the Internet and AI.\nMentioned blog posts (in the intro):\n\nForget IPs: using cryptography to verify bot and agent traffic\nQUIC restarts, slow problems: udpgrm to the rescue\nFirst-party tags in seconds: Cloudflare integrates Google tag gateway for advertisers","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ZUM5t9ScvLUOOnb2X4sDtiPmdc7DRjTvZMqAMm75gqE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MTdl/NWEyZGFiMGQ3N2Yy/YTQ5N2ZkNTU1MTM0/YjJmZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
