Totally agreed, there's certainly a place for tools that don't need DevOps skills, and many places - typically PaaS - that take care of this. However many developers wish to have m…

I'll be more direct at saying what the post can't say: - Historically the V8 team simply did not care about node, and would introduce breaking changes that would come as a surprise…

So what's actually included? A comment here mentioned koa, and there's some kind of ORM, but the README has no information.

I was really slow on picking up Babel too. But I've been using Babel 5.x in production for six months without errors - main things were docs that referred to old versions of babel …

Asides from being an actual Windows app as you mentioned, it's also a current OpenSSH codebase.

A half-bad Unix on top of Windows, with its own duplicate way of handling services, storage, users, permissions and everything else, is a pretty poor setup. Powershell (particularl…

I should add: OCSP is the baseline requirements, ie. DV SSL certs will also need to support OCSP checking. See https://cabforum.org/wp-content/uploads/Baseline_Requirement...

That's an excellent point - I've added it to the article and credited you.

EV is a standard for identity verification, rather than a product. Our product is 40-100x faster validation for EV. If you think DV is fine for your app, that's awesome. But if you…

EV certificates require OCSP: Section 26-A of the issuing criteria requires CAs to support OCSP checking for all certificates issued after Dec. 31, 2010. However as the other poste…
