Most customers did. But due to a wide variety of customer types and various hybrid auth environments, we had to support 2FA directly in-platform as well. There were also privilege elevation scenarios to consider, e.g. to access highly sensi

I completely disagree. Constructive criticism and healthy debate is entirely possible without violating the guidelines, and happens quite a bit. If people can’t figure out how to have conversations that aren’t “boring, pointless, fawning” w

I realize in retrospect my comment was probably confusing as written. The company didn’t charge extra for SSO despite the support cost, also for ideological reasons. But they were also singularly focused on large enterprise customers so it

To add an anecdote from the other perspective, I was the PM for the authn/z capabilities of a big enterprise platform. SSO was one of the greatest support burdens due to the numerous protocols we supported and the vast array of sometim

I’m also a happy customer. Regarding payments, I pay yearly. At the time I signed up I think it was the only option. They do have a $1.99/month option now, but they still offer yearly pricing.

I think curiosity is a form of questioning. Regarding your distinction, I'm still confused. In a very literal sense, what is the difference between "questions" and "questioning" in your mind? i.e. what are some exam

I know I said I was done, but I wanted to say that this comment is the most coherent representation of your position so far, and I appreciate that. To be clear, I'm very against any kind of implied "ownership" and believe emp

Your dictionary is either not exhaustive, or it’s out of date. The word is not limited to the notions of “stealing” or “appropriation”, nor has it been for decades. Just one example, but current dictionaries cover the business use of the wo

I think it’s a bit disingenuous to frame this as a situation no different than “paying market rate”. Whether you like this or not, the practice of hiring employees specifically to work on the same thing elsewhere or to drain a company of it

My point more broadly is that it doesn’t make sense to frame this as merely a matter of efficiency, nor was my claim that one can just ignore efficiency. Humans need a variety of things to live happy lives. Strong social connection is as i
