Unrelated to the content: I was really pleased to see that this site defaults to the bare minimum for cookie consent. I reflexively clicked "Reject all" only to see that it was already the default, which threw me off.

Surely you've noticed that the vast majority of engineers are using LLM-powered tooling such as Claude Code to assist their development process nowadays. Adding a Markdown file to the default project structure that will significantly i

Transport for London does the same. If you add your (real, CPAN) card number to the "Contactless and Oyster" web service, it will also add all of the DPANs you have tapped in with on their network as separate cards.

I recently discovered PocketSmith[0] which is not free nor open-source, but I have found it to be the easiest to keep up to date. It automatically pulls transactions from most banks and credit providers, which I've been unable to repli

A nice write-up, however it looks to me that the Compute@Edge tests were being run on a free tier service (adding a credit card to Fastly account does not upgrade your service automatically, I know because I work at Fastly). I'd love t

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but this looks like an end-user authentication system that you would implement in your own app rather than a corporate directory like Okta. Different use cases.

does the language that you use matter when the real goal is to serve a webpage to the end user in the shortest time possible?

To clarify, Fastly did not perform any benchmarks on Cloudflare's network. We ran our own benchmark, comparable to the one that Cloudflare ran on our platform, and compared those results to the ones that Cloudflare published as part of

An unfortunate comparison at the start there, considering that the "native" and recommended language for performance on Fastly Compute@Edge is Rust. JavaScript support is in beta. Try the experiment again with a Rust service compi
