0.82% of homes are burglarized every year. Meaning since 2015, you’ve got an 8.2% chance of having someone walk out with that box. Hopefully there’s nothing precious on it.
yes, this is indeed how probability works. thanks.
The chance of being burglarized is not the same as the chance that when you are hit, they decide to take your webserver. Think it through.

Isn’t he a Vercel evangelist though?
He is "whatever gives me short-term boost in popularity". Including doing 180 turns on whatever he's evangelizing or bashing.
Claude Code defaulting to a certain set of recommended providers[0] and frameworks is making the web more homogenous and that lack of diversity is increasing the blast radius of incidents [0] https://amplifying.ai/research/claude-code-picks/report
I've been part of a response team on a security incident and I really feel for them. However, this initial communication is terrible. Something happened, we won't say what, but it was severe enough to notify law enforcement. What floors me is the only actionable advice is to "review environment variables". What should a customer even do with that advice? Make sure the variable are still there? How would you know if a…
> The only reason to dramatically overpay for the hosting resources they provide is because you expect them to expertly manage security and stability. This and because it's so convenient to click some buttons and have your application running. I've stopped being lazy, though. Moved everything from Render to linode. I was paying render $50+/month. Now I'm paying $3-5. I would never use one of those hosting providers a…

The only possibility for that not being a reasonable starting point is if they think the malicious actors still have access and will just exfiltrate rotated secrets as well. Otherwise this is deflection in an attempt to salvage credibility.
What is the rationale for using vercel ? I'm getting a lot of value out of cloudflare with the $5/month plan lately but my bare metal box with triple digit ram has seen zero downtime since 2015.

They put a massive amount of VC cash into convincing people that Next.js was "the modern way" to create a website. Then they got lucky with the timing of LLMs becoming popular while they were the hot thing, leading LLMs to default to it when creating new websites. To picture that amount of VC cash - they're at Series F , and a huge chunk of that went towards marketing. Both have been changing as people realize it's r…
nextjs is also powerful due to AI. But the value is a robust interactive front-end, easily iterated, with maybe SSR backing, nothing specific to nextjs (it's routing semantics + React).
So much complexity has gone into SSR. I hate 5MB client runtime just to read text as much as anyone, but not if the tradeoff is isomorphic env with magic file first-line incantations.
