Yeah that's a trade off we have - without the app installed scanning the QR code yields "No usable data found".

Really interesting write-up! New Zealand COVID Tracer app QR codes are actually pretty similar. We don't use URLs, but we do use a base64 encoded JSON prefixed with the "NZCOVIDTRACER" string. NZ Covid Tracer App is actually

The possible attack is to prepare 2 versions of a commit, both resulting in the same commit id. Then later on, after the project is successful/etc, swap out the commit with the second version, while keeping the other commits intact. Gr

`git push --force` I assume. In GitHub, this will leave a trail of events though - Webhook events and auditing.

From a practical point of view, how would injecting malware happen? If you're trying to insert a malicious diff somewhere deep in the git history, you would need to recompute all the other commits after the injected commit - which woul

Nice! In terms of switching between different editors - I use Command+` for that. I usually have UI and API open, and switching between those 2 is as easy as pressing that hotkey. Don't have to muck around with Command+Tab. In terms of

Would you consider password sharing the same account instead of inviting other people via email as a workaround? I'm thinking if it's only one account, the blast radius of 'guilt by association' is 0. Or does Google asso

As a mobile apps developer, this is extremely concerning to me. Google has a big crisis of trust. I no longer feel safe to even have personal apps connected to my real Google account - what if the Developer Account gets banned and my main e

Not disputing any points in general, interesting read. But in the end of the article: the fact that he has many bank accounts may be used for accounting purposes? The document doesn't say if the bank accounts are with different banks o

For me, the last piece of the puzzle is RDS. If cloudflare can deliver a managed database, I would not see a reason to use AWS for new projects/ideas I'm tinkering with.

What OS and browser you're on? Seems to be quite nice on Mac OS/Chrome.

As someone living in Auckland, that's amazing news! I've been waiting for this moment for years. I can't wait to be able to deploy applications which respond with sub 30ms latency, using all the nice AWS services. Soon, a lot

Interesting that he takes a jab on the institute of free enterprise. What would be a replacement for that, planned economy and state mandated ventures? I don't think that implies any more liberty. Unfortunately, I don't see any pr

Not to blame either side, but this is one of the reasons Founder Vesting is a thing. There should be a mechanism in place which strips the founder of equity when they quit. A lot of venture firms these days require it. But even if you not p

The explanation can be shared with potential investors in private if needed, as part of due diligence. There's no essential need in the piece being public.

In partnerships, I don't think it's fair to blame incompetence. After all, you're the one evaluating their competence at the beginning, and it's really your fault if you choose someone who doesn't have the needed sk

In terms of product tours, I'm totally on-board with your students. I don't know how to access that product tip later on, often times revisiting a product tip later on is not even implemented so I'd rather have it stay in pla

We're arguing about semantics. What you define as "well rounded" I define as "product-first". What you define as "product-first" I would define as "inexperienced".

Product-first engineers don't avoid architecture. They tend to know when you can skim on building it, or when the common development tools already provide enough of it. Sometimes, it's as simple as "frontend, backend, and a w

I agree in spirit. Setting up a linter takes an hour though and is a worthwhile investment even if you are a cash-strapped startup with no customers. Given how many static analysis errors it reports these days, it will pay off dividends wit

Good programmers know when to cut corners. Not having tests is always a contentious topic, but it's also hard to justify when you don't have a product market fit yet. But then again, you might be building reusable components that

Overgeneralising as usual, but I tend to group engineers into 2 camps: builders and optimisers. Builders build product, they can ship something from scratch, doing whatever it takes to take the product over the finish line and in the hands

Even though not enforceable in practice, you could've been booted off App Store for sending notifications/other means of communication about a cheaper way to pay.

I think this is exactly what is being changed here? Now you can link away to a web portal with your account and alternative payment options. Correct me if I'm wrong.
