Congratulations! From time to time I visit your website and consider applying when between jobs but never did. Might try this year :)

I'm among the first 6000 users of Instagram and my first name username was stolen a few years ago. Support for verified accounts acknowledged the issue, but couldn't do anything about it.

This turn was an AI exploit, in my case was an outsourcing support 'exploit', where someone paid for my username to be manually changed and given to another user. There will always be a way to get access to accounts if human accountable support doesn't exist, with criminal consequences for employees that violate it.

At a previous job, I was downloading daily legal torrent data when IT flagged me. The IT admin, eager to catch me doing something wrong, burst into the room shouting with management in tow. I had to calmly explain the situation, as management assumed all torrenting was illegal and there had been previous legal issues with an intern pirating movies. Fortunately, other colleagues backed me up.

Understood, thank you!

Customer here, from previous versions. Could you expand on the reasoning of not offering an upgrade price? Is it just to messy nowadays on the technical side, especially with the Mac App Store?

Will be upgrading in the future, congratulations on the launch!

Resend is, or at least at launch was, using SES as their email provider.

Would love this also.

The best option I could find was using Digital Ocean Managed Databases. The cheapest costs $15, but you can host multiple databases with good insights and backups. You can choose where you host it, and place it close to the region where youre Fly.io apps are, with low latency.

Only caveat is there isn't an easy way to automatically update the IPs whitelist of the database, to support the Fly builder and deployed app(s).

This requirement is weird. Not everyone upgrades to the latest macOS version and lots of people still prefer to run macOS 10.x.

This change was more due to the iOS 7 flat redesign, than to what the author proposes.

A design trend, where it became fashionable to have a flat design supported by illustration/iconography, further away from skeumorphism, which photography was more close to.

Fine print: only compatible with macOS Monterey 12.3 or later.

Perhaps only spatial audio and some camera features won't be compatible with older macOS versions. Waiting for the first reviews.

One of the few grips I have with the more recent Cloudflare Pages is that the build times sometimes are 10x slower than Netlify.

If you need to perform a fast update or rollback, it does take its time.
