CircleCI was compromised over the holidays. I've been investigating the use of a @ThinkstCanary AWS token that was improperly accessed on December 27th and suspected as much. Now we have confirmation from the vendor.

Fun fact: You don't hear from real furries on Twitter. Try typing when your paw is a foot wide with 3 toe beans. All these people are fakers and aren't wearing a suit at all.

On the one hand, I love this (whether it comes from AWS, as here, or another company) as unexpected but happily received "tip jar" money. But GitHub Sponsors/Patreon/etc. can't be substitutes for more sustainable sources of income for open source developers.

I wish it worked like this in real life: If a rich dude sits on your couch and you yell "BANKRUPTCY!" you now own the contents of his wallet and the keys to his car. A very fine system! I can't believe I actually had to warn y'all not to put your life savings in monkey money.

My #1 feedback in code reviews for more junior developers is to document "why". Everyone wants to add comments on "what" when they first start out. Sometimes that's useful, but we can always figure out "what" given enough time. But the "why" will be lost to time.

Poorly thought out Twitter API allows anyone to find username from a given email; which can help malicious users dox a target (find their alts) or mass tie usernames to emails based off lists. Make sure you aren’t doing this.

documentation is very different from public-facing blog type content.

I agree, I joined a company because of its excellent engineering blog. Having an engineering blog is a must! And when engineers write blogs that genuinely help other engineers, you feel like working there and being one of those engineers!

The secret sauce few people tell you is to have a great engineering blog, you DO need tech writers who help engineers write, and (most importantly!) edit their writing. But you want someone really technical… often an ex software engineer who writes well. Tough to find/hire

To be clear here, you want engineers work with tech writers and publishing specialists to write the blog. You do not want engineers writing public facing blogs unsupervised. Most can't even write good documentation, let alone understand how sentences work. It goes poorly.
