This is what real judaad [1] looks like! It blows my mind when people come up with such ingenious solutions, only partly because I’ve never been able to. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24459888

The jugaad mentality may help coming up with innovative, low cost solutions to problems, but isn’t the best way to actually deliver it to a mass market.

This doesn’t address your question, but: don’t be afraid to push back during an interview. Too often, interviewers get away with questions that have no relevance to that particular role. Also, it’s ok to turn down an interview request if it

I get the general feeling that people on both sides of an interview want it to be exactly what they want it to be. That never happens. There are problems with the way tech interviews are conducted now, and we should aim to fix it. But hum

It's funny how every time I read an astronomy headline mention the word "visible", my brain immediately interprets it as a conventional photograph and is slightly disappointed when there isn't one.

I've become increasingly disillusioned with the JS ecosystem over the past couple of years, but React still delivers. I can still chuck it in a script tag and start writing components if needed (without JSX). I haven't really used

People broadcast what they ate for breakfast! Doing the same when you have donated (any amount of money) doesn’t lessen it in any way.

Thanks for clearing that up. I wonder if developers actually know they are signing up for this when blindly dropping in the SDK, just to support FB login. I’m surprised most popular apps haven’t learnt their lesson since this happened last

How is Apple not addressing this? This seems like a pretty glaring hole in their tightly controlled environment. If the SDK is injecting code, shouldn’t that be an explicit permission?

I use my Amex regularly. Can you explain how it’s worse?

I agree, with a caveat - Apple can and does remove apps which are caught stealing data permanently. The App Store and Apple's policies act as a safeguard for users. As far as I know, there is no reliable way to do that for web apps.

That’s what I was thinking as well. Why not just treat it like any other OpenID provider and show it for all platforms?

Thank you. Can’t wait for a more detailed write up. P.S: I’ve built a service using Fly and can’t recommend it enough!

I see the same behaviour down under. I wonder if Siri has got anything to do with it? Mine is always disabled.

I partially blame keyword driven recruitment in tech for these kinds of responses to a platform/tooling. Kubernetes isn't a magic bullet - it is a platform which solves a very specific set of problems with scaling. And of course i

These don't sound unreasonable. I've been in a similar situation before. In my experience, if the culture in the org is generally positive, it is worth taking the effort to champion good practices. You can become the go-to guy for
