There's some proper “war in heaven” type weather out there right now. Some of the most frequent lightning I can remember in a long time, and lots of big, booming, thunder. The rain sounded like being next to a waterfall for a while.

đź”– Bookmarked: Two PSAs regarding IndieAuth by an author

“IndieAuth is starting to get some traction in the greater Internet space, which is really cool! I’m glad to see a protocol finally emerging around distributed/federated identity, managing to get some traction where OpenID more or less failed (despite a few hangers-on still supporting it).”

When the PM and Scrum Masters wanted me to get an area of development into shape and on-track, I hope they were ready for the sheer avalanche of Jira tickets and stories that would entail…

Just had an email from PayPal saying they're rolling out SMS-based two-factor authentication (and so I must validate my phone number)… yet they've got the temerity to call it “strong customer authentication.” If it was really about safeguarding accounts, they wouldn't be using SMS at all – which has proven to be no obstacle to hijacking accounts in just about any system that's used it.

I really don't like how crippled the WordPress iOS app has become, if you don't use the Jetpack plugin and chain your site to WordPress.com/Automattic.

For example, you can't initiate a new post from the share sheet (say you want to share a link from an RSS app, or something), which is about as basic as it gets! Opening the app from the launcher and starting a new post works, but it's extra friction if you just want to fire off a quick post. There's really no need for it to be like this, and I can't think of any good reason for it.

Why do some developers really hate exceptions? Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one writing and using them…

‪I hate that the internet seems to have made people so conspiracy-minded. Or at least amplified it. Oh, something innocuous happened? Must immediately assume it’s due to some really bad thing, and immediately denounce whoever I think is involved…‬

No.1 Son did well in his school results for the year. Four B’s and a C, which is a very good bounce back from the disaster he had last year. He's actually looking forward to going back next week!
