The number of times I have had to remind a developer that the contents of the JWT are readable is nuts. Way too often they want to treat it like a general session store and just toss any old state in there regardless of if the end user shou

My company brought on consultants. They were having us do the absolute strangest things. Pointless meetings. Duplicating infrastructure. Documenting processes so deeply entrenched in what we did they'd never be forgotten. Then they hir

In my experience, the consultants likely recommend the layoffs, probably even helping select who to let go. If they cut more than five $40k employees, they've made their $200k back.

Does this include BDXL media? I bought a drive a number of years ago with intentions on backing up my NAS. Never did because the media was still prohibitively expensive for the amount of data I was looking to back up. I've been waiting

Roughly, yes. I know a lot of developers who have leaned into using AI heavily in their workflow. I also know a handful of graybeards who refuse on either moral grounds or general distrust. The output of the prior group though is undeniably

On our company Slack, we literally had a discussion about this being a problem yesterday. I frankly did not believe it. Security scanners really should not be clicking on things on your behalf. There's a lot worse danger there, like po

Anyone have any strong recommendations for apps available on F-Droid I should try? I think I have maybe two apps installed via it currently. If something is available on the Google App Store I'm generally using that instead.

The only thing that ever really sucked me in like that was Tumblr. The stigma-less repost culture where most of what you encounter is reposted made it feel like I was building something by being on there and reposting things. It really ju

I was really hoping one of the P2P apps would take off. There's no real reason why we need a middle man injecting themselves and taking fees. The apps just get better marketing. We literally just need an app to connect restaurants to c

See, but I do. For almost a decade, we have used it as-is for tickets and bug tracking, and it's never been a problem. I just don't see the use case for sub issues.
