We all have those tasks in our applications that are not common enough to warrant a project (and another deploy) to make an admin panel, but also are painful to do, because they are tricky or time-consuming. So I'm working on an internal tools building platform to quickly wrangle some admin interface do automate them.
This is currently just a prototype I'm developing, but I'm honestly eager to receive some feedback, as I'm not completely sure about the direction.
I'm building a internal tools engine partially inspired by Interval (RIP).
It will be completely open source from the start and support many languages other than JS.
It is in the very early stage of development, but it would be nice to know if anyone other than me is interested, and if you have any tips on what bothered you in other similar tools or things you would want on it.
This. I used to be very skeptical of anything Blue Origin. But after the CEO change they appear to have changed their attitude for the better.
They are not on SpaceX level, but they are growing recently and I think this test, even with the many problems or things I didn't like (SpaceX spoiled us), it was positive.
You must hear this a lot, but.. do you have any tips on how to break into the field?
Currently I'm a backend engineer, but my initial interest to dive into development was operating systems and networking.
I recently have been improving my knowledge doing some systems related projects and trying to contribute a bit to open source, but getting a role working with that still seems so unreachable not having any formal experience...
Security consultancy companies need to always point out something that needs to be changed, even though it is not really important to show themselves as useful.
And executives don't have enough tech knowledge to discern between security measures that are actually effective or not, so to avoid risks they just make their tech teams implement it because the consultancy said it should be done
Had a similar situation in my current job, and unfortunately it is not something worth picking a fight with senior leadership for.
Ironically most of these companies allow access from Web Browsers (which are completely controlled by the client).
