Replying to @dok2001
@dok2001 I've noticed that SNI and host overrides are still in enterprise plan (developers.cloudflare.com/ru…) - any chance we can get that in other plans too given your very generous policy of everything in every plan (blog.cloudflare.com/enterpri…)? 🙏🙇☺️

Make sure to always reuse your botoclients. Initializing a fresh one on each task has A LOT of overhead!

Engineering capacity at a startup is finite. Security is one of the things asking for a piece of it. Here's Tim Olshansky on how to stop running security as a parallel program to product and start budgeting it as part of engineering capacity instead: fencer.dev/blog/security-as-…

Friends! I've built a cool little tool for reviewing security reports, starting with SOC 2 that I'm looking to recruit testers for. Comment in thread or DM and I'll share it with you - would love any/all feedback 🙏

New: a field guide on running security at a startup, from someone who lived it. Our co-founder @timolsh was a CTO at a startup before he built Fencer. He built and ran the security program himself. Led the company through SOC 2 with no security team to hand it to. He wrote down what he wishes someone had handed him then. Startup Security: A Field Guide for CTOs covers: 👉 When security stops being a "someday" problem 👉 Where your hours actually go when you're the one doing the work 👉 What to put in place first 👉 How to run security operations without burning out the team 👉 Considerations for startups in the AI era Read it here: fencer.dev/startup-security-…

Trust me chat. Forget about Glasswing spamming 0days in your software, you're already cooked with current models. I've hacked hundreds of global orgs, including governments (legally) over the last 10 years, and the amount of times I required a 0day to do so was exactly 0 times. Being worried about Glasswing is like living in Europe and being worried about Northrup Grumman having lethal space lasers while you're more likely to get stabbed by a crazy person walking through the streets.
Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software. It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans. anthropic.com/glasswing

Trivy, LiteLLM, now Axios. Damn malware is hitting hard and fast now. A few small shifts that close most of the security gap: * Add a 3–7 day delay on new package versions with package cooldowns (minimumReleaseAge) * Disable install scripts (--ignore-scripts) * Only install from lockfiles (--frozen-lockfile) * Upgrade on a schedule, not on deploy Attackers rely on speed. You don’t have to.

With recent Python supply chain attacks (Trivy/LiteLLM), it’s worth mentioning uv’s `exclude-newer = "x days"` config. It forces uv to only installs packages published more than x days ago, reducing risks since problematic packages should be yanked by then.

Curious what the wider dev world is doing with policy agentic software development in teams? x.com/timolsh/status/2033581…

Bitcoin is the first time that digital scarcity has ever existed. It’s extremely easy to duplicate things in the digital realm, whether that’s a song, a video, or a meme. (2)
