Valve did have a few key people (not to mention complete access to the best 3D engine source code at the time) who really did know what they were doing. Keep in mind that building video game levels, models, animations and such back then w

In the old days you had to pay the phone company for them to not list your full name, home address and phone number in the phone book that every household had.

So, I guess I hear you on this, although I think it's a generalization.. There's certainly a trope among developers that "the business" doesn't give us time to do work properly, including security.. and that's
638.
by sbarre 3y ago
This is my personal opinion but any developer building software that runs on the public Internet should not need to be incentivized to care about security. It's a fundamental part of the job.
639.
by sbarre 3y ago
Most large companies have too many developers and too many teams to expect/assume that each team will do the right thing for security when putting something in production on the public Internet. Why? Because most software developers a

I think you misunderstood the criteria. JQuery and React are not really apples to apples. If we're talking about a front-end framework for building modern applications, then we're looking at React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, etc.. JQu

I don't think front-end is going away anytime soon. I would put good money on React being around in a decade or even longer. Either way, no one has a crystal ball and trying to make decisions today that account for a problem you migh

My concern with this approach is that frameworks encourage consistency and give everyday developers access to at least some best practice patterns. And there's no reason for developers working on a business application to have to re

I mean this is the obvious answer but React has the largest market share I would think, and so if you are a large enterprise that deals with employee churn and you think you will struggle to find and hire good talent, React is the framework

This might be due to the fact that these cars are so expensive that buyers who stretch themselves to afford them typically don't buy the optional features like side mirrors and turning signal lights.

I've wondered this as well.. I think Netflix, Amazon and Apple were sort of that for a while, with all the deals they were cutting with production companies.. But in the end it was just Meet the new boss, same as the old boss..

The missing piece here is that streaming was not profitable for a very long time, and all the studios and content producers cannibalized their existing profitable businesses to make equally unprofitable deals with Netflix, just to be where

I can second this. I literally just completed my first playthrough of the game over the weekend (backlog pain is real). The architecture and design in the game is the best brutalist work I've seen in a game.

So you're going to intercept and ask every single user who lands on your inbound signup page before you let them sign up? That doesn't feel like a great user experience. As a user, I would just button past that pop-up or form. Th

This is a good point. But it would mean more work on the Monarch side (and possibly more support for the analytics team when their customer messes up etc). I would bet that the JS is an implementation shortcut, and a way for the analytics

Yeah this is on the public inbound signup pages, not in the app itself (although I can't confirm that it's not in the app - I didn't sign up). This is pretty standard stuff, and while I'm not a fan of trackers and I pers

Hmm would be curious to know which block lists you have. I'm only blocking 27 things with most of them being Split.io (for A/B testing I presume) Sprig, Stripe and Sentry. Those aren't really third-party trackers (even though

I agree with you entirely. I was an early adopter of Mint, but the day they sold to Intuit I moved all my stuff out of there, because I knew it was never going to get better.
