My first home-built computer required you to program in machine code using dip switches. Definitely not my favorite language.

[Mark Pundsack @MarkPundsack]

My new favorite programming language is Markdown.

What's the German word for the work you get done in between waiting for ChatGPT to respond?

Achievement unlocked: I got Claude Code to swear (without being manipulated into doing so).

Do AI agents get tired of being told they're hallucinating? I mean, deep down they already know this, and we're really just nagging them.

Super excited for this quick demo of using AI to understand and create complex policies for app authorization. https://t.co/C7cygq3kYV @styrainc

@villi @Category_VC Wow Villi, that’s awesome! Excited to see what you do with it. To everyone else, if you haven’t had a chance to work with Villi, I highly recommend it. He’s one of the best VCs I’ve worked with.

At Styra, we love remote! And, one of the most important elements to being an effective and successful all-remote team is to regularly spend time together in person.

Last week, we gathered from all over the globe in Playa del Carmen for the 2024 Styra Summit.

"Over 90% of technical decision makers say policy as code is a vital, strategic priority to replace homegrown authorization"

As 2023 draws to a close, our own @anderseknert looks back at another eventful year in the OPA community. A year of exciting new features, events and OPA-related projects. Read all about it in the OPA blog!

Using general-purpose languages for authorization can lead to complex code, misunderstandings & vulnerable code.

@nevumx from @GustoHQ makes a case for logic programming by showing how it can be used to build more maintainable & secure #authz logic.

Architecting for security and compliance at scale is a daunting task. #PolicyAsCode is an essential part of any modern solution to this challenge.

It’s 2023 & policy as code is everywhere in enterprises. Check out The 2023 State of #PolicyAsCode Report.

Enterprise OPA can now be used as source code!
Get all of the flexibility of using Open Policy Agent, with all of the performance and integration benefits of Enterprise OPA.

Enterprise OPA is really fast - but don’t just take our word for it.

We’ve been working with @MiroHQ on a real-time authorization challenge and their engineering team came to the same conclusion: it's fast!

Read all about it here: https://t.co/RrcrjkkeBT

[Mark Pundsack @MarkPundsack]

Are you struggling to express complex enterprise permissions or meet challenging authorization performance targets at scale?

Our summary of two enterprise use cases from engineering teams at Miro and Reddit might provide some valuable pointers.

Hey! We're running a short survey to learn how people are using Decision Logging with OPA. If you have a couple minutes, please fill it out. It'll help make OPA even better! https://t.co/rIJUCATSll

[Mark Pundsack @MarkPundsack]

@marccampbell I love this mechanism. Used it a lot with Heroku’s `hk` cli.

[Styra, Inc. @styrainc]

How does our enterprise version of OPA perform head-to-head with standard OPA?

Running a large (400MB) RBAC bundle, the results are pretty clear: Styra Load uses just 275.3MB of memory, compared with 3GB for OPA.
