Today I fixed https://1Feed.app's Twitter integration - with all the technical changes going on at Twitter, the old integration no longer worked, but I've written new code and the integration is working again.

While it's tempting to just remove the integration, I think it's very important to maintain as long as I possibly can, since it gives folks a way to keep up with their favourite Twitter accounts without needing a Twitter account themselves.

Those who've worked with me will know I try and hire well - high empathy, low ego, humble folks who are dedicated to continuous learning.

Like many, we're in the tough position at #Delving of doing some layoffs this week to extend runway - which means some of the finest engineers and designers I've worked with are looking for their next thing.

They're based in Canada (Ottawa and Victoria), and a mix of staff-level and early-career-level full-stack talent. DM me for intros; boosts appreciated.

@ninovandermark TypeScript's type system has more in common with F#, in my opinion, than with C#!

I end up writing nice, clean, functional TypeScript (which compiles to relatively safe, functional JavaScript!) as a result.

I think #TypeScript benefits greatly from treating it like a #FunctionalProgramming language.

#Twitter brought back the links and info for suicide protection, but why remove it in the first place 🤔

We have added that info a while back here: https://mstdn.social/about (below) so please use or refer to this when needed♥️

Who is using the end of the year to learn #react, #typescript, or #nextjs? I’ve got some time over the next few days to answer questions if you’ve got ‘em.

I don't have the heart to tell them that's not a summoning circle. #cats #catsofmastodon #caturday

Any incident is stressful, and at this time of year is even worse. I feel really really bad for everyone involved.

Relying on users to pick a strong master password is not realistic. The #1Password approach appears to make more sense - force a secure default in the face of determined attackers who may ultimately succeed.

I suspect for many users the "notes" fields are more sensitive than their passwords. Passwords can be changed.

#LastPass will hopefully reflect on what design decisions drove them not to encrypt URLs, and if they have made any similar risk trade-offs elsewhere.

Attribution (if possible) matters here for all of our threat models.

I've seen little discussion of how the breach occurred, although the movement from dev environment->cloud backup is telling. The entire IT industry has walked itself into a cloud security nightmare, with easy-to-make mistakes or compromises having potentially severe consequences for many companies.

#Bitwarden appears marginally better than LP, but I'm not seeing anything fundamentally better? (see 2). More like out of the frying pan into a small pot.

I spent some time mucking around with Bitwarden self-hosted. Some of the guides to self-hosting I read were downright dangerous, and certificates were a problem. I'm unconvinced it's a realistic answer for all but a small few.
