It may be my European context / political definitions, but at least around here the word "conservative" would include vigorously defending the rule of law and courts (along with property rights and so on). E.g., letting peopl

I think you and parent comment are just using the word conservative in two different ways. There is conservative values and there is the conservative party, two different things.

It is too hypothetical for me to do that. I mainly intended it as some friendly advice as to what information you better have prominently available on your web site for casual visitors to bother with researching you as an option.

Here's what I'd like: For the AIs to interface with the rich existing toolset for refactoring code from the pre-AI era. E.g., if it decides to rename a function, it resorts to grepping and fixing all usages 'manually', i

Yes, this is documenting one particular way of doing CSRF. A specific implementation. The OP is documenting another implementation to protect against CSRF, which is unsuitable for many since it fails to protect 5% of browsers, but still an

You say you should "never trust the client". Well trust has to be established somehow right, otherwise you simply cannot allow any actions at all (airgap). Then, CSRF is preventing a class of attacks directed against a client you

My experience is it adds a multiplier 10x to the work that needs to be done, which is then a good fit for the 9x extra developers upper management decided to hire. Sure, it keeps everyone busy with work they feel is meaningful -- but it rea

I disagree that tests are bandaids. Humans needs tests to avoid doing regressions. If you avoid tests you are giving the AI a much harder task than what human programmers usually have.

Assuming your country is similar to Norway: 1) Unions say it when they always demand increased salary (= focus on private spending) rather than reduced working hours 2) Voters say it when the right and far right is polling high. Lower taxes

This details an approach to working with commit-ordered event IDs which is a very powerful primitive to, e.g., do pub/sub event processing within a SQL database without having to deal with outbox patterns, event brokers and so on. Peop

As a metric user: This is about your lack of familiarity. E.g. can picture lumber expressed in cm or mm very easily. E.g., if you work with beams that are 48mm / 5 cm or 98mm / 10cm a lot then those sizes becomes second nature. Ju

IMO, replace "More than a Cache. Smarter than a Database." with an actual description. The saying is cute but does not really convey information the reader is after. And that spot is where you want people to immediately understand
