There are some easy wins most applications could use but don‘t most of the time. Like having sensible permissions for your app-db-user. Running migrations in a separate process? No need to have permission to do schema changes. Events are on

Instead of copy and paste you could have a POST form on your site to trigger the actual reset (with a hidden field pre-populated from the params of the email link). Gmail and others won’t touch it. They assume a GET is free from side effect

The „Emergency Override“ (press two buttons for 10 sec) reminds me of the iOS „Screen Time exceeded“ message. Took me like two days to develop the habit of instantly hitting the „no limit for today“ button every single time.

Nicholas Taleb - Antifragile Might also be one of his other books like Black Swan (I haven‘t read them all), but I think Antifragile mentions using options to mitigate risk in a portfolio.

Maybe it’s because houseplants aren’t a controversial topic. Take any topic where people hold strong opinions (politics, religion, ...) and start following people you agree with. I guarantee you’ll have to very deliberately look for people

Thanks for your insight! Do you happen to have experience with a large number of realms in Keycloak? I was looking at it a while ago and found conflicting opinions on how suitable realms would be to model multi tenancy in a saas. Mainly for

It is. But he also wrote this in a subsequent tweet: > For a typically long running app like an email client, the obsession with shipping as little JavaScript as possible is actually detrimental to the end UX.
