When you choose to use an app that controls something important, like your money, what features sway you to trust it the most?
I think the honest truth for most of us is generally “who else is already using it that I trust already”. This idea should be encoded in an open protocol.

Purposefully incompatible software has held us back for so long, the breath of fresh air that MCPs have given as a “compatibility layer” is just the first outcome. People have been desperate for that optimized salesforce integration for so long they don’t realize that the AI can replace whatever they were doing in saleforce in the first place. Engineering still has a place, but it’s more about solving the right problems (design, taste) than actually doing the solving (ai is way faster at that)

Huh, repeating the exact mistakes of twitter, just like you called. No one authority should be the trusted to be the censor. If there is going to be an algorithm, moderate, etc, it has to be opt in and open source.
I may not agree with what someone says, but I will defend your right to say it with my life and with my code.
Thanks for funding Nostr jack. Open source may build networks slower, but they are more robust, tasteful, and have more soul.

Pro tip for being a good security engineer, instead of trying to make your peers fear the consequences of a vulnerability, invite them to play with the vulnerability and learn the risks themselves. Give them some working exploit code or demo. Show them the cool trick, then let them imagine the risks. Only elaborate on the risks after they accept the invitation to play. Fear is tyranny. Play is collaborative.

As a long time security engineer, CVEs are completely mismanaged and create huge amounts of pointless toil for developers. To wit, there are entire companies that built their business on helping people “manage” vulnerabilities.
Getting a CVE published became some kind of resume / CV padding tactic a decade ago and the quality of the vulnerability information is commensurate with what you might expect.
One of the most valuable activities I perform as a security engineer is triaging “CVE vulnerabilities” and making sure they don’t distract people from shipping working code. Mostly that’s marking them as a false positive or not applicable to our use cases.

When people continue to ignore what you are saying, it's because they may not feel your message is relevant to their needs or priorities. This can happen for several reasons:
1. Your communication style might not match their preferred way of receiving information
2. They might be distracted by other concerns or stressors
3. There could be a trust or credibility gap that needs to be bridged
4. Your message might not be addressing their actual pain points or interests
5. The timing might be wrong - they may not be ready to hear what you're saying
Thanks Claude. That helps a bit.
