SAML allows you to send additional attributes with the identity payload, like group memberships. This is not inherently authorisation, but can be used to automatically map users to…

I had the same thought, I got an alias set up in my ~/.gitconfig to clean up branches that gets deleted from remote when I'm ready `gone = !git branch -vv | awk '/: gone]/{print $1…

Huh, socialism as a violent ideology was not on my bingo card for 2025

I think the right balance here is to have ownership of the outcome rather than the thing. E.g. you have ownership of making sure the feature you’re working on makes it to productio…

For basic auth it works well, but the challenge comes when you need to integrate with oidc, need to enforce mfa, enable sso etc. session invalidation is also quite complicated. You…

The security model is challenging, as it relies on Postgres users for iam. Your users essentially log directly into your db

I think you underestimate the value of controlling the platform that you base all your revenue from. Chrome controls the internet and android has a huge market share on mobile. The…

I think it comes down to which type of market you’re in. In some markets, like highly congested markets, design makes a big difference. It can be less important in more niche marke…

It would be interesting to see if these clusters are related to resource distribution (blood vessels) like how cities often grew up around rivers

Even AWS in their own docs says to use the native tools when migrating from postgres to postgres[1]. They don't go into the details to much and points to pg_dump rather than pg_log…

I've been a big fan of worldtimebuddy[1] for a long time. I book a lot of meetings across timezones and it's makes it very easy to see when a good time for a meeting would be betwe…

We're going through this right now with hava.io AWS RDS postgress 11.13 > 15.5 We ended up going with a relatively straight forward approach of unidirectional replication using pgl…

We’ve taken a different approach with hava.io, why draw yourself when you can automatically draw what’s in your cloud environment.

It comes down to "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", if you sit quietly in the corner and get things done, and there are no problems with the work you do. You will be invisible to…

I tend to disagree, it's risk based. If it's incredibly expensive to get it wrong, you start weighing up if it's worth storing all that data.

I would assume single account but multiple devices, so you could have multiple connections syncing at once.

I've often found that diagrams as code is fine for simple things, but once the complexities start adding up, it becomes as much work maintaining the diagrams as it is to main the a…

Difference is that in most jurisdictions those professional engineers are liable if people die because of negligence, the software engineers are most definitively not

This reminds me of the 90s when sites where hosted inside iframes to inject ads. ISPs were notorious for doing this. Every site started running javascript to break out of iframes b…

As we are moving faster, and cloud deployments are getting more complicated, keeping documentation up to date often falls to the wayside. How do you keep your documentation up to d…

That raises an interesting philosophical question, do you have to be alive to retain ownership?

What has worked really well for me running workshops and other things remotely is Mural[1] with an iPad Pro. I can open my screen and share it on my laptop / desktop. And open the …
