I never found the manual.
So I compiled one.
Book of the Wire - a scripture written in static.
For those who build, debug, and believe.
๐ Now on Amazon: https://t.co/GDprUebOpt
got a fun wake up call today ๐
a โsimpleโ landing page i deployed got probed, exploited, and ended up leaking env vars (including db creds)
even had a random 'bob.php' file show up in my container
hereโs what happened โฌ๏ธ
lessons learned:
โข even a simple landing page needs real security
โข bots will find anything public
โข env vars arenโt โsafeโ at runtime
โข redeploy clean > patching a dirty container
โข lock down server side endpoints
โข never leak raw errors in prod
โข audit your browser extensions
@stokfredrik AI is here to stay whether we like it or not so I get you. Just one step at a time. We overwhelm ourselves when wanting to do too much too fast. Keep doing your stuff man ๐๐ค
Great talk.
Good mood.
No issues with questions.
Overall was a pleasant technical interview.
Next day: After careful consideration...
Seriously, what is it that jobs want out of applicants now a days?
Jump through hoops on fire while juggling bowling pins and solving puzzles?
