Anubis, dammi la forza di sopportare l'ennesimo chiacchiericcio delle operatrici che assistono mamma riguardo a quanto il COVID fosse tutta un'invenzione, il vaccino una condanna e le mascherine completamente inutili per limitare il contagio.
Dai la stessa forza anche a mia madre, che da quando ha contratto il covid a causa di uno degli operatori che l'ha contagiata ha perso quel poco che le rimaneva, cioè la possibilità di comunicare con gli occhi.
The moral of the story, the IT/tech-industry in most cases is just a way of robbing businesses, and therefore the population/customers, from money.
Do we need an AI agent to handle the customer care? Do we need it in hospitals?
In most cases, no.
But we, the population, will pay for it. We will pay taxes to have our schools using ChatGPT in classes, to have a robot rejecting our requests when calling the damn bank.

I love #CloudFormation because you always have to guess whether you need a `!Ref` or a `!GetAtt`...
Fun, right? 😅
#fridayrant! Happy friday everyone, and here's this week's rant.
Speaking with a friend and colleague who sends me systematically #CVEs and fresh of the day #exploits, we had an argument (always a pleasure to have one btw) about #data #validation and other #cybersecurity issues.
My exact comment for this CVE (a #rabbitmq code injection) was: "if you don't sanitize your input and pass it to your application based on belief, you deserve the #code #injection".
Seriously, let's make a clear statement: how many #APIs do sanitize their input data? One of the very best answers I ever got was "but the data is sanitized on the client side"
Well, spoiler alert: nope. That's not gonna happen.
This problem is nothing new, truly: it's something I've been discussing since the early 2000s (actually after one the very first applications I made was so badly injected I still remember it to this day).
There is no such thing as "client side data sanitization".
You control everything coming to your application.
There is no such thing as "the #framework automagically solves this issue". You either know it or not. And if you use a framework, you probably have a legacy issue. Or will have one.
At the end of the day, #data is your main #asset and it provides value to your business and decisions.
Businesses stopped developing #software to solve problems, and often it sounds like arguing about divinities or alchemy.
It's a tool, not a magic wand.
But "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". So... are you a developer, or a believer?
Another episode of the #FridayRant about #cybersecurity.
Today it's about #DisasterRecovery and the misconception that many businesses have about it.
Many times, when facing the DR plan of a business, it turns out they don't really have a "plan" for it. And now that #ClimateChange brings even more challenge to businesses, it may be a good time to have the right #awareness of what is in place, vs what is not.
Here comes a short essay about your #DataProtection and how what you think you have, may not be exactly a Disaster Recovery Plan.
All too often during interviews with companies we hear 'yes we have Disaster Recovery'. Then, scrolling through the questions in our questionnaires, the reality of the situation jumps out. At a time when climate change does not only put a strain on people,...
