Correct, the above mitigation is only for malware on the dev laptops and build servers. IOW, it doesn't prevent injecting the malware on your program when compiling it.

It's more than the security of your project. For example, NPM dependencies get installed not only on the build server, but also on the laptops of developers. These laptops are connected to VPNs, so malware can get into corporate networ

You can make a cron job for installing updates. I'm not saying blindly installing updates is a good idea, it will break. On my servers I have a cron for fetching updates, but not for installing them. I get an email so I manually instal

That security issue is not particular to CGI. It is an application code problem. For example, the XSS risk is the same. In general, CGI is more secure.

Undo. I use it in UI Drafter for handling Undo. For example, I create a revision of a store (a deep clone) and apply the undo frames one-by-one. Each undo frame has the setter name and its arguments. IOW, the frames contain what changed, su

That font in particular yes, but proportional fonts are faster to read. I think anyone can notice it if they try. BTW, there is a study suggesting we start reading noticing the shape of the word envelope. If that's the case, that could

Uppercase letters have left padding, which is 1/3 of a whitespace char. I got used to it within a few minutes. That padding is for helping with camelCase, but another opinion is that snake_case is better than camel. Better yet, some la

While in a startup breath is desirable, in a big company it will set you back. Of course, it depends on the hiring manager, but they have better resources than a single person for diversifying the collective skillset. It is similar to pitch

The goal is to make UI drafts layout agnostic. IOW, it is not a graphic design program. It is for handling barebones requirements to software designers.
