dandigangi··on Tell HN: Another round of Zendesk email spam
They've been getting hammered by bad actors. Work in the email industry and its been bad for them. Hopefully they figure it out. Yesterday I got two phishing scams that were from a BS gmail saying they were in hiring at Unilever and Nestle.
dandigangi··on Show HN: Morph – Videos of AI testing your PR, embedded in GitHub
Couple jobs had this too and I really liked it. The QA team we had it as a hard requirement. Optional depending on context for the devs.

I understand what you mean here but I'd consider this something that is configurable. I'd 100% have this product type as the default to require manual intervention/actions. Forcibly require someone to turn it off w/ some very explicit conversations. Maybe even provide some educational content about best practices.
dandigangi··on Magic/tragic email links: don't make them the only option
Been saying this for a bit now. OTP/magic links have some upsides but the second your SMS or email provider doesn't deliver said thing your users are in trouble.

dandigangi··on On Building Git for Lawyers
Worked at DocuSign. Even with all the fancy software and tools we had the real world use cases for non-digital tasks was always at odds with it. We built around it but at some point it leaves the digital space with a real person with a real red marker. And maybe a fax machine.
dandigangi··on Caring for yourself while caring for others
Always nice to see content like this come up. It's a struggle to do self care. Wrote something about this last week because I've been struggling for awhile too.

dandigangi··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
She is. I want to accelerate my learning and then practice with her.
dandigangi··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
That's it! My girlfriend is Polish and would be great to be able to speak with her family. A lot of my friends are Polish too. She has translate between her family and me currently. It's been very hard to learn though. Haven't liked Duolingo so far so going to try Babel. If not that I may take classes.
dandigangi··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Taking a break from learning Go/Rust to learn Polish. Lol
dandigangi··on Why I still blog after 15 years
Agreed! I find myself writing or other content that I don't share around. Just sits on my site. Helped me by getting it out of my head and if someone stumbles on it, great. If not, all good!

dandigangi··on Reverse engineering Ticketmaster's rotating barcodes
This was a fun read. I wonder if they reported it to a bug bounty program of theirs. Based on his writing how he feels about their business I'm going to guess no.
dandigangi··on You can't just assume UTF-8
Except I can
