I set my son (8) up with a ChatGPT account and he loves it. He uses it to generate scripts for Roblox Studio, recipes to cook, etc. I used the "Instructions" field to indicate he is only a child and to interact with him appropria

1. Wow a thing, people seem to be excited about it. 2. Are people excited about my thing? Am I excited about it? 3. Have I made the wrong life choices? 4. This makes me feel uncomfortable. 5. If I can defend my life choices I can feel good

I just received an email back from an Incident Handler at Salesforce. I wrote: > A statement that confirms whether or not config variables and secrets were accessed, or that you're not sure, needs to be sent out. To which they repl

Very confusing! To clarify for others, what they mean is that if there was a secret embedded in the log drain URL, rotate it. This is often the case for HTTPS log drains. Example: https://datadog.com/logs?api_key=abc123

This is turning into a complete train wreck and a case study on how not to communicate with your customers. For those of you that haven't been following, Heroku has been adding non-update updates to this security thread over the last c

It’s not really about being justified, it’s about being gentler with people. We don’t have to jump all over each other, there is another way.

I recently visited San Diego and was absolutely blown away by how many scooter companies were operating there, and how many unused scooters I saw lying around.

I just started reading books again in the last couple of years and I think it’s definitely worth it. My recommendation is that you start with a physical book and not an ebook or audio book. It might test your attention span at first, but it

Been building Django apps for almost 10 years and after seeing the amount of wasted time going into organizing things into apps, I settled on this technique. It doesn’t really swim against the current as long as you import models into the _

I don't use multiple apps anymore and instead treat the project as the app, so my directory structure looks something like this ('project' can change to something specific to what you're working on): * manage.py * projec
