What a hypocrisy: Twitter api is oath only, a pain for developers and users but for their own app on Android they keep user/password.#unfair

Shared the link Why our jobs are getting worse
A nice overview of the world of processes and managers in BigCo. So true and so sad. Another good reason to never ever again go work for a large organization.

It's called evolution, whether industrial like in the past or hi-tech as nowadays. Everything is done for a reason, so it's not as simple as placing all in one basket.
As far as "another good reason to never ever again go work for a large organization" goes...does that include a large organisation like Google, where an idea from one man and his laptop can be enjoyed by millions in one week? Large companies offer a lot that small compaines don't, so both have their pros and cons. You have to weigh both sides of the argument, then make an informed decision. Start-up mode is also good, but not everyone can afford the risk ;-)

Whatever Twitter announces tonight... I bet you it will make them look more like Facebook and that they'll keep on screwing developers.

This is a very long tweet to test the new Twitter/Storytlr integration using OAuth and the bug on short urls. Both issues should be fixed now and the code has been pushed to Github. A bit more testing tomorrow and I'll release a new version of storytlr.

Shared the link Security Lessons Learned From The Diaspora Launch
Security is not easy, and building a secure open source product in front of a large crowd is even harder, especially with the kind of attention Diaspora got. This post is a must read for anyone willing to do something similar.
One suggestion by the author on how to avoid this mess (besides writing good secure code):
"I would have released the code that they had with the registration pages elided, forcing people to only add new users via Rake tasks or the console. "
Which is exactly what we did with Onesocialweb: disable all registrations means in the clients, to avoid other people hosting public node easily, and thus enforcing some restrictions in using our early stage code.
