I started with Wireguard first, however the setup / maintenance makes it a way bigger project than simply using Tailscale.

Also npm audit times out.

Note that we also had COVID and shifted to remote gigs in Germany. This means that we compete with people located in smaller cities or even villages which probably have a pretty good pay rate bump.

As a contractor, based in Berlin, I also noticed that since the end of last year the market slowed down.

Sublime Text editor is my day-dreaming destination when I feel depressed of work. It makes me really happy that 2-3 people can actually build something, sell a piece of it in an non-disturbing way, and do this for a living.

It's also one of the best shareware models ( Is this even a word these days? ), that I've ever stumbled upon.

Keep up the good work, folks!

That's so true. Good luck explaining to management that the front-end app needs additional cloud resources, such as a server, so we are on the edge of the trend with SSR.

Most apps behind a login face tough architectural / security meetings, defending SSR for their use-case.

Wow. I hope this won’t spread further. Looking at DAX, Deutsche Bank shares dropped as well as HSBC.

When I first read the news, I thought about another hit for the crypto, however looking at what happens I’m a bit worried where will the avalanche reach next Monday.

Stay safe folks!

What I'm pissed about is that everyone hopped on the JWT train too fast a couple of years ago.

Now it's really hard to argue with architects / developers why cookie authentication / bearer token makes more sense than JWTs.

As explained in the article, if that's the case then you can't really trust the JWT anymore only for it's cryptographic signature and you rely on an internal store entry that makes the token valid / invalid.

This makes no benefits as to bearer token or any random string that the server "knows" is a valid authenticated request via internal store, like a DB.

There is hardly an app that I use these days that doesn't require internet connection. I guess once your app needs it, you will have the same problems.

Fun story explaining this to the PR reviewers though :D
