Probably the most misunderstood concept in business and the main reason I was held back for many promotion cycles early in my career.

What does commit in “Disagree and commit” actually mean?

[Dickson Tan @Neurrone]

@zkline Doubt it, they have never shown any indication of interest

Hate how complicated JWEs are.

Just realized after chasing down a nagging feeling since yesterday about something being wrong that JWEs don't provide non-repudiation.

Thought of using ChatGPT to figure out whether CSP or CORS helps with preventing CSRF attacks because I was spending quite a lot of time on this recently.

And the explanation it returned was shockingly accurate 😱. Only wished I thought of trying this earlier

[Dickson Tan @Neurrone]

@joseph_yaml That's something that only time and popularity can fix unfortunately

[Dickson Tan @Neurrone]

Agree with so many of the pain points mentioned here. That reminds me, I should really look into Svelte soon

New blog post: Things DBs don't do - But should! https://t.co/ClDhNogMtz

It is based on my keynote at #ddtx23 - lots of people asked about it and there were no recordings. So I put my thoughts on writing.

[Dickson Tan @Neurrone]

Wow, this is glorious! I wonder if I could make this my alarm instead...

Someone turned the iPhone alarm into a beautiful piano score and you need to hear it! https://t.co/aNMWebroKd

@joseph_yaml Could it be the recent cold weather? Get well soon!
