    Now a little more in-depth response. Thanks again for your feedback, I could relate to all points you mentioned. - You are totally right. The "Try it for free" could very easily hi…

    Hey gooba, danke danke danke! I'll have a go through all your points tomorrow, greatly appreciated! Especially since when you work on something for so long, you just can't see thin…

    Yea, that's what I gathered as well. So what do you think about checking against compromised passwords?

    Thanks for your opinion. I appreciate it. I think that makes a lot of sense. I also like the idea of passwordless, I'll definitely have a look at that!

    Oh, and I missed the middle part of your post. Fair question! I do think it is quite sustainable. For that to make sense you might have to know me better, but my perspective is I h…

    Hey gooba! Thanks for wanting to try it out. And sorry, you ran into this issue. It appears Laravels throttling function doesn't work well with my reverse proxy setup. I have disab…

    Yes, I did read up a lot about password security the last few years. But still, I'm worried a very secure policy restricts people from registering at all, see case above. What woul…

    Fair! I did think about this a lot. Initially, I also thought "8 characters of any kind" are fair enough. Then read a lot and decided a bit more security would be good. But honestl…

    I’ve been building something over the last year, with probably 1000 hours going into it. A personal management app that does almost everything while being privacy-focused, no-bulls…

    No worries, I love to hear about alternatives and other approaches. I'll definitely have a look, thanks!

    Good point indeed! I've been feeling Claude Code has gotten worse for a while now, read many articles on it, overall probably due to cost saving. But if you set your things up to d…

    Exactly! I know, some of those companies sometimes refund you, but if your livelihood depends on it..? That's a crazy situation to be in as a mere developer.

    Yes, and you should! But not doing so resulting in this seems kind of over-the-top. Basically means an oversight can result in your bankcruptcy?

    I'm a full-stack software dev, proficient in AI but also sceptical. I've found that staying away from the hype is key. Stop thinking about "WHAT COULD THIS DO", but rather try to f…

    What I have asked myself the last few months: I've read about IPv4 becoming sparce a few years ago. I haven't read much about it lately. And I've thought maybe the advance of cloud…

    That's actually crazy. So I can build a project I love, that does good, but somehow get in a situation where I'm accidentally paying 30.000€ (or 50.000€) to a big tech company? How…

    Well what kind of meaning do you find in brute force? I'm not saying it's not effective. I just critisize the news that make it look like AI is the a revolutionary advance in secur…

    Honestly, if every software project ran an AI-based security check over their code, the software world would probably be more secure. Of course, there are lots of projects who don'…

    All the news regarding AI finding weaknesses or "hacking" stuff - is that actually hacking? Isn't it also a kind of bruteforce attack? Just throw resources at something, see what c…
