Failed to meet deadline for release (not enough confidence that we can release without regressions) so release got pushed to next release window which is n - 1 days from now. I imagine ideally we should use tags for release but for some rea

I’m guilty of doing things wrong. Let’s say the cto has said no merge to master until after n days. I have a few defects that I need to work on that are in the same files. Ideally, one should make a different branch for each defect. However

Good thing too because it is easy to screw up signing. For example, even the dotnet team has trouble with it https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/5202

I think PHP is a fine language if you are working on an existing application or are building on top of symfony but I’ll begin second guessing all your design decisions if you increase the default execution time of php from thirty seconds to

Absolutely. If you go by the marketing, all of aws staff is now potentially working for you when you use aws. You could say this means if any of the aws employees is compromised, so are you. As a contractor, all my code goes through a code

If espionage is a concern, you first have to handle the low lying fruits (and I'd assume you already do) like you only allow your own hardware: no employee may use their own computer to connect to work. You should probably also require
