  • That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

    I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

    While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

    If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

    Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂






  • I don’t think I understand your point about them impersonating users? It seems to me like an account gets created for everyone using the portal. It then provides you a password and you can start using that account. I tried it just now and it seems like your account gets flagged as bot on creation automatically. So most people posting from that domain, might just not have unchecked that “I’m a bot”-tick and are actual former Reddit users.

    Creating an account doesn’t make a user active though, but for the question if a bot posting stuff counts as an active user or not, I honestly can’t say.




  • I use this method and the only place where there isn’t some slight categorisation going on is the projects folder, because these are relatively short lived and then archived in their respective category again. For example university stuff has its own Area and Archive folder because otherwise it would be too much.

    You can always argue that productivity methods like this don’t work, because some certainly don’t work for some people or some special workflows. But these methods can always be changed or just discarded. I’ve read a few books on productivity stuff and found some middle ground that works well for me, just like everyone should do if that interests them.
