I've been thinking about leveraging existing open source interfaces for static site generation, creating something between a full cached (Varnish, etc) interface to a dynamic site and generating each page on the fly. So rather than hav

I get spam PMs from my deceased cousin from a minor social networking site she joined. Her account has been compromised. I contacted support to provide obituaries and such, I hope they disabled the account. While I don't mind so much,

And then they leave it at my doorstep, sometimes even skipping the doorbell, where my neighbors and members of the public can steal the package at will. It's insane!

The CTO was likely saying "this sloppy developer isn't responding, I've got to escalate this somehow". To me, this really emphasizes the importance of communications, followup (the human timeout and retry factor, especia
