- debarshriThis is the irony of software engineering. This is how a lot of bad software gets written too.
- What you are describing is access via a PAM. Via RDP is one way to accessing it.
- One of the feedback i have heard from people using SSMS is that it has all the admin operations available in the UI as compared to doing it yourself. Lot of admins i deal with day to day do not want to use the terminal or sqlcmd.
I'm wondering if thats true.

- I know a thing or two about zivver as i used to hangout with an early eng who was a scala dev.
Idea was end to end encryption. So technically, the new org should not have access to customer data. Company hit gold in the netherlands during covid whe reports had to sent out to users digitally and was always encrypted in EU due to regulations.
It could be different behind the scene. It does not look good for the netherlands where digital sovereignty is the key topic these days.
- > This incident involved one of our engineers installing a compromised package on their development machine, which led to credential theft and unauthorized access to our GitHub organization.
The org only has 4-5 engineers. So you can imagine the impact a large org will have.
- People forget about the time when they stood up yo patent trolls. I'm no fan boy but it is just interesting...
- Fair enough
- Tech is full of ironies. 5 years ago cloudflare was held as the savior of internet. People in HN and tech in general put them on pedestal. 1.1.1.1, generous ddos protection, cdn, adn to name a few.
Fastforward to today, they being hated foe bringing down the internet, compared to failing giants.
I think it is a reminder that evil and good recides within oneself.

- Electron is built on top of v8, Edge uses chromium.
I think thats the beauty of opensource.
- Community compiled list of Heroku alternatives.
- I would rather hear that from a paying customer than my cofounder. If you do that, you might endup drinking the cool-aid.

- This is a pessimistic comment.
I'm a cofounder of a data and identity security startup operating specifically in APAC. Data security in india a joke.
I would argue even with DPDPA, RBI C-Site and cyber resilience framework from SEBI, it is just going to not happen here.
The list PAN card the blog is taking about is probably already leaked by some other services.
The recent flipkart cash on delivery scams [1] are example of how your personal information is just out there in wild in india, open for exploitation.
There are lot of who do security in good faith (often driven by compliance) and lot of them are our customers too but I hope to see rest of indian tech ecosystem take security seriously.

- Recently i learned that orgs these days want to show software and infrastructure spend as capex as they can shown it as depreciating asset for tax purposes.
I understand that with AWS you cannot do that as it is often seem as opex.
I guess thats a good enough motivation to move out of AWS at scale.
- 10 years back, every month there would be a new JS framework, backbone, ember, angular 1, 2, vue etc.
With React, I would argue that UI got standardized. At this point the ecosystem is so active and robust that choosing anything else has to be because you have hit a edge case not solved by react, next etc.,
- Agreed
