Repeat after me: web/API standards are strong suggestions, not unbreakable natural laws

If you are using @trinodb and your workload involves INSERT, then you really wanna get on version 422. We're seeing ~50% improvements in INSERT times without any other changes 🤩

My best coding sessions have a strong meditation component, maybe the best secret perk of being a coder?

Needed to claim some mental space - something I often do with a little coding - so I started building a simple API with Elixir and wow, that is fun and easy. Curious to see where this goes.

Many thanks to @trinodb team for all the recent security package updates in Trino & Airlift. Didn’t see this mentioned in release notes, but this is critical for security scans of Trino-based containers. Greatly appreciated!

Amazing how interest in API security is taking off. As an informal data point, I'm doing 3 podcasts just Thursday alone to talk about our most recent findings. This is increasingly "need to know" for any organization where APIs are present or planned.

Some eye-opening #apisecurity stats from @robfromboulder’s #GlueCon talk about API security. When @resurfacelabs deployed honeypot apps in the cloud… ⚠️ 100% of them were attacked ⚠️ Avg time from deploy to attack: 27 minutes ⚠️ Avg number of attacks: 154 per day/per endpoint

Getting cold-called about digital marketing or website design feels exactly like you're showing up to pitch me an electric car while on horseback.
