We have had end users scammed because Android QR code readers show scammy "pay now" ads. We do not support online payment but that does not prevent non-technical people from clicking large UI element-like ads and entering their cr

Worktrees are a must if you work with monorepos or just multiple branches in general. Lack of conventions (or rather the braindead defaults) and having to explicitly type out everything is what hinders adoption the most. I've solved th

We did Tailscale-like SSH reverse tunnels at scale first in 2013 and the main issue has always been that there are no good libraries. Bash scripting around the OpenSSH binaries is pretty much the only way to go. There's Paramiko, but P
