How to Prevent IDOR Vulnerabilities in Django REST APIs An authenticated user changes /api/orders/42/ to /api/orders/43/ and reads someone else's order. No privilege escalation needed — the endpoint just returns it. This is IDOR in its simplest form, and it's endemic in Django REST Framework code because DRF makes it trivially easy to wire up a ModelViewSet that exposes every object in a table.

So I built SmartDeskPro — a tool that gives small businesses a professional booking page and a 24/7 AI chat assistant. No staff required. Small businesses lose bookings every d
We had ArgoCD running perfectly. Every deployment was reconciled from Git. Drift detection worked. Rollbacks were one-click. Our GitOps setup was clean. Developers still couldn't provision a staging environment without pinging the platform team. That gap — between "GitOps in place" and "developers can actually self-serve" — is where most platform engineering teams get stuck. GitOps solves a real p
Anthropic now ships at least three different memory models inside the Claude product family, and they don't behave the same way. Claude.ai has a chat memory feature for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users that summarizes prior conversations and injects that summary into new chats. Claude Code has CLAUDE.md files plus a separate "auto memory" directory the model writes to itself, both loaded at se
Part 2 of 5 in The New Engineering Contract - what it means to lead engineers when AI is doing more of the coding. Stripe never skipped the boring stuff. They ship 1,300 AI PRs a week. Amazon skipped it. Their storefront went down for six hours. Kent Beck wrote the answer in Extreme Programming Explained in 1999. We read it. Then chose velocity anyway. A friend of mine leads engineering at a funde
