Lately I have sat down to talk with a couple of different groups of people working outside of tech. As someone working with cybersecurity there was a set of statements where I had to interject. This post is a result of these discussions, with the aim to be a reference that can be used to improve the security of everyone, no great technical skills required. I will focus on how we secure our accounts, focusing on the login experience. ...
In this world of AI, no-one can miss the discussions about “vibe coding”. What that means is a the use of AI to write code to develop a product quickly, and the author doesn’t even need to know how to write code. This opens up so many possibilities, as long as the code has a high quality. I won’t dig deeply into the quality of the code produced by AI today, but for now I wouldn’t trust code written by AI to be run in production without rigorous code review and testing. However, if we assume that AI in the future would be of a quality high enough to be run, what would the impact be on Developers? I would argue that this is not a new problem, but a new version of an old problem. ...
Over the holidays I finally took my time to dig into Masodon. It has been a bit of a journey, both to understand how it works, and how to use it. From the start it feels like twitter, but as you use it you see the differences and realise how different they are. Regardless I do now feel at home on Mastodon, and the lack of an algorithm feeding posts it thinks I will like is most refreshing. ...
It has now come to an end of an era. The time has come to move on from from my previous way of building this blog (with Jekyll) to something new. For a while now I’ve been looking for a reason to dig some more into golang, so when i began looking for a new theme for my blog the choice to migrate to Hugo came quite easy. At first glance it does exactly the same thing as Jekyll, but for someone who from time to time make changes to the theme it makes more sense (my personal opinion). ...
In a previous post I shared my experience with moving my page from Github pages to Cloudflare. It is now time to follow up that post and comment on my experiences after approximately a quarter. The experience of publishing new posts is about the same as when hosting on Github, you just push an update to the specified branch and then a build is triggered that will be published upon completion. The main difference is that the build process is somewhat slower in Cloudflare than on Github. This means that a build can take about 5 minutes, instead of the previous 1. This is most likely due to the fact that Cloudflare pulls everything and builds locally, instead of using Jekyll remote themes. ...
