Join us Friday, Feb 27, 2026 in Virginia Beach as Ian brings his unique blend of economics, tech, and delightful teaching energy to the DevFest stage. hrdevfest.org #HRDevFest

This was fun, always good to catch up with Aaron.

Excited to be speaking at DevFest today! Folks who came to my "Art of Web Defense" online workshop last week got a sneak peek of the talk I'll give today. @1kevgriff has organized a terrific lineup of speakers so I'm going to do my best to try and deliver. Wish me luck!

Yesterday I tweeted @dhh and asked if we could talk about SQLite. To my surprise and delight, he said yes! It's a fun conversation spanning SQLite, Campfire, the one-person framework, Stoicism, and their new ONCE product! Click on the video to see the full discussion.

We just opened up registrations for our "Art of Web Defense" online workshop this Thursday at 11am ET. We're going to cover practical ways to handle attacks, uncover bots, and harden your web applications. Sign up now as registration is limited. -> crowdcast.io/c/pwsw?utm_camp…

Happy Friday @OpenAIDevs needing Multi AI Agent Systems (MAS) using OpenAI's new GPT-4o Model! A small open-soruce JavaScript 🟨 library called Experts.js that unlocks Assistants as Tools along with easy Thread & Run management. github.com/metaskills/expert…

I finally pressed the button. After months of work, the new version of Recut is out. ✂️ Manual editing (cutting, trimming) 🚄 Cut multiple files at once (side-by-side files) 💾 Save & load projects ⚙️ Simpler settings

🔍 Is this risky? Most devs are great at knowing what parts of their apps are easier or harder to implement but don’t have a great sense of which are more or less of a security risk. ✏️ Embedded document editing is surprisingly risky. A good example is the UEditor JS, which was shipped with multiple Java and .NET CMS projects, had over 6k stars on GitHub, and had a vulnerability that allowed for unrestricted file uploads to the server. 🛡️Web Application Firewalls are great at helping with issues like this via “virtual patching.” There’s no actual underlying code fix for this There’s a clear exploit pattern You add a firewall rule like “Block Path: /Ueditor” You’re “virtually patched”

#RailsWorld wasn't just a huge success for the attendees, but for the sponsors too. I got the pleasure to checkout @wafrisorg and speak with the team at length BECAUSE they were there while I probably would have ignored a pitch email. (Also, their system looks excellent!)

I just published our #RailsWorld2023 recap. It's a little different from the other writeups I've seen, as it focuses more on the business side of being a developer-focused sponsor/vendor and less on the announcements and talks. wafris.org/blog/railsworld-2…

Still can't believe the team from @wafrisorg commissioned a custom LEGO build of my beloved Pagani Zonda HH. Without a doubt the coolest conference gift I've ever received! 😍 #RailsWorld

At #RailsWorld @DHH stopped by our booth today. Was cool to talk to him about the security challenges of web apps and how @mbuckbee and I are trying to help stop them with @wafrisorg.

If you’ve been enjoying the ice breaker game at #RailsWorld don’t forget to to stop by the @wafrisorg booth for the full Code for Insanity game. Also each speaker has their own expansion pack so ask them a question, give a kind comment or offer a trade for their card.

Kevin has been a leader in the .net side for the last decade here in Va Beach. Definitely deserving of this opportunity.

Our new IP Lookup service is on Product Hunt today: producthunt.com/posts/ip-loo… Promotion aside, I do honestly think that this is a useful and unique tool in the ecosystem, so here's a brief tour of the design and decision-making that went into it 🧵

Just published @mbuckbee's talk from @RailsSaaS, "Practical SaaS Security," where he announced wafris.org! Mike is the embodiment of our event's ethos: a very successful indie operator who spends so much time helping others do the same. 🙏 youtube.com/watch?v=pM_NLmsQ…
