Companies that give away core technology for "Free" are always plagued with the perceptive one way door that gets created. There is never a good way out of the situation for either party. The company got the benefit of buildin

Excited to see another tool in this space. As long time ./jq user I am really curious to hear how this compares.

My recent job search lead me to the idea that the traditional resume is broken. Temporal view only gives recruiters and hiring managers the bullet points to qualify you in whatever bucket that they need. Instead of a traditional CV/R

When considering the salary for their staff, it is important to point out that LetsEncrypt only works if there is trust. They need to have high caliber people that they can trust and this costs money. Hearing that LE Is paying their peo
