The article discusses the challenges of building scalable platforms by avoiding the "matrix" problem, where two growing systems become tightly coupled and require significant integration efforts. This is often caused by a shared API or abstraction layer that carries knowledge from both domains, leading to a multiplication of integration costs.

September 2026 Security Review: Attacks Following Legitimate Features and AI Execution Capabilities

Executive Summary Publicly available information collected in September 2026 highlighted common discussion points: "attacks that use legitimate connections and privileges to move laterally after infiltration," "malicious code in software supply chains that activates during normal use or after distribution resumes," and "governance over the scope of execution left to AI."

CVE-2026-65660: a SharePoint flaw that never writes a file to disk

CVE-2026-65660: a SharePoint flaw that never writes a file to disk Most incident response playbooks for a web server compromise start with the file system. Analysts look for recently written scripts, unexpected directories and timestamps that do not match a deployment window. CVE-2026-65660 breaks that habit, because the exploitation chain it uses builds its payload in memory and leaves no file behind. Technical context Microsoft rated the flaw 8.8 and fixed it on 11 August 2...

IBM's New AI Skills Study: How to Keep Learning While You Build With AI

Your AI coding tool finishes the feature. The button works. You can finally move the task out of the pile.

That is the beginner problem I kept thinking about while reading IBM's new workforce skills announcement, published September 21 . In surveys conducted with Oxford Economics from April through June, IBM gathered responses from 1,500 human-resources leaders and 8,800 full-time employees...

Preparing for Git 3.0's SHA-256 Default: Find What Breaks in Your Tooling Before It Breaks

Tuần này trên Hacker News có một bài khá nóng: Git 3.0 dự kiến đổi object format mặc định từ SHA-1 sang SHA-256, và tác giả cho rằng đây là một quyết định tốn kém. Mình không định tranh luận chuyện đúng hay sai. Câu hỏi thực tế hơn với team mình là: nếu một ngày repo mới tạo ra mặc định là SHA-256 thì những gì trong hệ thống của mình sẽ gãy? Câu trả lời thường không nằm ở Git, mà nằm ở hàng tá script CI, regex, schema database và tool nội bộ đang ngầm giả định rằng commit hash luôn dài đúng 40...

How passkeys work: WebAuthn, phishing and why you can't move them

A passkey is a password your device invents, never shows you, and refuses to hand to anyone, including you. That one property is why passkeys stop phishing, and it is also why a post called "I don't like passkeys" spent a day on top of Hacker News with 616 points and 605 comments. Here is how passkeys work under the hood, and why "un-phishable" and "un-movable" are the same word. TL;DR A passkey is a per-site key pair. The server stores only the public key, so a d...

Verification Photo Privacy — Node.js Deletion After the Retention Window

Short answer: run a scheduled Node.js job against an asset ledger you control. Select identity-verification photos whose deleteAfter timestamp has passed, delete each one by its stored provider ID, and append a durable audit record only after the provider accepts the deletion. Alert when several runs delete nothing. A retention policy without that loop is a calendar note, not a control. This matters in a property-management platform because two visually similar pipelines have different life...
