Not so "serverless" after all eh?

I'm getting so annoyed at companies requiring a phone number and then forcing MFA on me with it.

If you're going to force MFA on users give them another option besides receiving a text message or phone call. I don't want to live with my phone attached to my body at all time, sometimes I just want to log in without having to go find where I left it. I have Yubikey, let me use that, or worst case, send a code to my email.

CodeQL comes with a bunch of pre-configured queries for the language you're using (at least when running on Github enterprise)

CodeQL will do this for some languages, the kind of bugs I've seen it identify have been pretty impressive, I'm sure there are some other static analyzers that can do this as well.

I don't know why someone would want to waste time arguing about code style.

Standardizing on things like `cargo fmt`, `go fmt`, and `terraform fmt` remove a ton of nitpicking out the gate. The javascript world can't seem to make up their mind though (jslint is rarely used these days, jshint died, I think eslint is the thing now?)

I see the business befit in serverless in a lot of ways but I don't think its necessarily a good thing for developers, its a good thing for business in some cases but its highly proprietary.

Oh please do, its absolutely horrid. How are they even keeping up with Firefox security updates? The only conclusion I could come to, when investigating this, was that they aren't, and when I asked the company in a comment on their public blog how they were handling it they deleted my comment.

I was hoping Lightphone would be a strong contender for a non-smartphone but the reviews so far have been mixed and there seems to be a few serious issues (e.g. battery life), also there's no 2FA which honestly is one of the main things I use my phone for these days (not everything supports hardware 2FA)

I second this, "google's problems are not your problems"

I came to mention this exact issue.

I've seen this trip up people in the past, in one case a CI/CD system running Linux was used to produce a project deployed to a mostly windows environment this didn't cause any issues until the day a developer added a binary module. Honestly, I'm surprised it worked as long as it did, it took a little over a year before anyone hit that issue.

Double down on your strongest skill (sounds like Python) brush up on some of the changes (e.g. Python 3isms) and find a role where you can use it, all the new shiny stuff can come later.

no update since August 31, 2016 seems pretty dead, though I guess there is someone around to renew the domain name, etc.

> MySQL has the whole 'worse is better' thing going for it.

I've used both MySQL and PostgreSQL and I prefer MySQL, it seems to work and scale better "out of the box" and has a more comprehensible permission model than Postgres. I might be biased somewhat as I've used MySQL a lot longer and have even written plugins to interop with it but its still my number 2 go to (after SQLite)
