I'm sorry, but you still have to think itsallaboutthebit.com/i-am-s… - I wrote a blog post in the context of recent "you don't have to read code anymore" discussions triggered by DHH's Campfire rewrites in Rust and Elixir

BUILDING AFRICA’S NEXT GENERATION OF GLOBAL DIGITAL COMPANIES FROM NIGERIA
Nigeria has the talent, enterprise, and ambition to build companies that can compete anywhere in the world. Our responsibility as a government is to ensure that Nigerians do not have to leave Nigeria or rely on other jurisdictions to realise that potential.
For too long, some of our most promising young entrepreneurs have felt compelled to establish their companies and intellectual property abroad to access global capital and markets. I do not accept that this must remain the case.
I want the next generation of African technology, finance and service companies to be built, headquartered and scaled to the world from Nigerian soil.

You can't secure a project until everyone agrees where its trust boundary is. 🔐
#FrankenPHP embeds #PHP inside a #Golang and @caddyserver server, so that boundary spans Go, C, and PHP. We wrote its security model: what's untrusted (the request), what's trusted (the operator and the deployed code), and which attack surfaces FrankenPHP itself owns.
For the @thephpf's Ecosystem Security Team, this is what turns our audits from guesswork into something scoped. A threat model is a security feature.

Anyone else remember encarta and how magical it was the first time you saw it - or am I just old?

We are the last generation of programmers who know the deadly feeling of seeing the exact problem in our code, on Stackoverflow, with 0 answers

You used to be able to just create a Native GUI App in 10 seconds. No Electron, no Game Engines, no Web frameworks. Just a lean fast .EXE produced in seconds. Works on any Windows machine WITHOUT Internet connection. Software Development is actually going backwards.

In November 2021, a zero-day flaw in a widely used software library called Log4j allowed hackers to take full control of compromised devices through a simple application interface. This event crossed into mainstream headlines and became known as Log4Shell. Governments and companies spent billions to patch the vulnerability, upgrade IT systems, and contain the damage.
Developers in Europe are central to maintaining the critical systems we all rely on, managing current security risks and addressing new challenges emerging in the age of AI. That’s why @github is committed to securing the digital supply chain by strengthening the open source projects that underpin the internet and the AI stack.
Through Microsoft’s new EU Security Program Commitments, we’re investing in open source security with the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund—supporting the projects that keep the internet and AI running.

The internet was on fire. 🔥
One small library affecting billions of systems.
Log4Shell was the biggest security vulnerability of all time.
Now, Log4J maintainer, Christian Grobmeier tells us what it felt like inside the flames 👉 github.blog/open-source/insi…

why the private network addresses 192.168.*.*?
because a company used it in some early documentation, people literally copied the same while setting up their networks, and that eventually became the standard.
fascinating.
