https://repowarden.dev - feel fairly feature complete now and am dogfooding heavily so it’s time to face my fears and do some “marketing” and “sales”. Whatever that means.

Had exactly the same sort of experience using AI to audit a code base we inherited recently at $dayJob. Spotted over 100 “security issue but after whittling them down via reproduction scripts and validating they were real CVE’s - that numbe

How tragic. I only had the pleasure to work with Mikeal for a few months but always found his presence wise and humble. He consistently approached decisions with the kind of pragmatism that came from a wealth of experience. I hope his famil

I agree with you. But, I have found the middle out effect in online discourse means we get articles (such as this one) polarising viewpoints for attention. Sadly, it works.

Despite people slating the author, I think this is a reasonable oversight. On the surface, spinning up a Postgres instance in Docker seems secure because it’s contained. I know many articles claim “Docker= Secure”. Whilst easy to point to c

Hey, remember me? We met randomly on a bus from Machu Picchu to Cusco a couple weeks ago! First "orange site" people I've met IRL lol. Great work on this - very slick UX and super quick. Be cool to expand it to support the UK

Completely agree! Ultra processed people by Chris Van Tullekan is similar for eating unhealthily.

Absolutely, design of cities dictates behaviour. The secondary effects of this are interesting too. For example, european kitchens can be smaller because they don’t need to store as much.

Great site and product! Congratulations on the launch. I actually have a use case for this in my product Loginllama. I need to grab information about the IP addresses. I’m currently using a different API but don’t really like the product. I

The author raises some interesting points. But these arguments seem a little tired now. Does a customer actually care what technology you use - absolutely not. If react is easier for you, go for it. If that’s HTMX - fine. What matters is sp

Hey! Thanks for checking out this product. I built this after implementing similar systems for other clients and couldn't find an API that allowed flexibility of implementation. Other solutions took control of your login process (which

Echo all the words from the author here, and kudos for being transparent. I’ve faced exactly the same problems building my new product. But, on the other hand, Supabase was incredibly easy to setup, and meant I could worry about infrastruct

I'd quite like to move my wife's maths business away from Calendly. But unfortunately Cal.com doesn't support payments for events yet. So that will be a sticking point for now.

Personally, I use render.com to host a bunch. They cost like $1 each a month. Super easy to deploy to because it's just a docker container or script.
