knodi··on Southwest Airlines halts flight departures amid technology issue
In these 3 steps:

1) Gather requirements of what the business expect the systems to do provide which capabilities for the business to operate and grow for the future.

2) Present this to the generals and ask them "how can we get here with which changes or new systems?".

3) Analyze document the proposed changes outline pros and cons. Make recommendation to CEO.

Repeat the loop again with action plan and timeline, if the CEO agrees which i'm sure the CEO will have input on where action plan is focused on and timelines. Ask for input from all Cxx and SVPs - repeat loop after this point.

Repeat until actionable work items are created and assigned to people to execute on. Monitor execution and keep doing it again and again until all the changes are in.

knodi··on Going from engineer to entrepreneur takes more than just good code [audio]
Yes, it does. After 5 start ups and 20 years later. Know your market and how to reach them. You can have the best engineering if no one knows about it they can’t use the service/buy the product. You can have the worst engineering/product in the market but with good marketing and sales you can still be profitable.

knodi··on Recon and Attack Vectors from My Logs
Sadly no, you can disable an AWS provided rule but that may have other issues like you lose all detection for that attack vector. With AWS WAFv2 you can have custom rules with logic that lives in lambdas, the lambda is invoked every WAF request for evaluation based on the logic in the lambda.

There are few options on AWS marketplace such as Fortinet and F5 WAF rules. Fortinet is the better of the 2 and newer.

knodi··on Recon and Attack Vectors from My Logs
Yes, AWS and Cloudflare are better but not without their own problems. WAF is something you evolve over time to correct the false positive which may have been observed.

AWS WAF would trigger a false SQL injection attack if the URL contains two "+" chars and the word "and". Or if you have a cookie with JSON in it would trigger the XSS attack rule.

Highly recommend setting up WAF logs to output some logs aggression tool (e.g Splunk) and create reports, dashboard, and alerts about WAF trigger rules & request HTTP code over a span to time and see what is going on with your requests and how WAF is evaluating the requests.

1% of WAF blocks were real attacks, my experience is with a site that had 25 million unique visitors a month (no user content). i'm not saying you shouldn't have WAF, i'm saying nothing beats good visibitily into WAF to correct it behavior over time.

knodi··on Senate Democrats unveil a plan for a new tax on billionaires
So much spin on HN today, i hope you all read this before poo-pooing it.

" The tax proposal would apply to just about 700 taxpayers, Democrats say — people who earn more than $100 million per year or who have more than $1 billion in assets for three straight years. It would require them to give the IRS a detailed account of how much the assets they own gained or lost each year, a process called mark to market."
