PhpStorm AI is smoking GitHub AI in terms of security knowledge. PhpStorm → doesn't recommend simply replacing dangerous keywords, as you can use tricks to manipulate replacements into forming more keywords. 🏆 GitHub → YOLO's it with a simple replacement. 🤦

Testing out @phpstorm AI Chat alongside @GitHub Copilot Chat, and so far PhpStorm is winning for accuracy - but it's early days. Both appear to be good at identifying my intentionally vulnerable code as vulnerable, which is a good start. 🤣

If you're just starting to learn software engineering right now but you're considering dropping it because you think the field might be made obsolete by AI, I have an alternative approach to suggest for you: Start learning now, and use AI tools to learn FASTER

Any web devs out there looking one-off work? I have a idea/project I'd like to get a quote on that should take a few months to "kick" out the door.

The ambiguity of Twitter's API switching to a paid model and what it means for Social Logins is the reason why Social Logins aren't the magic solution to password reuse. Your account on one site is still at the mercy of an unrelated site...

I finally found my use-case for chatGPT: working with AWS So insanely useful. It's telling me where to go in the console, writing IAM policies for me, giving me shell scripts to access the API. Boy oh boy...

Lovely way to help people struggling at Christmas 👇🏻

Suella Braverman says that the only way a persecuted child from a country in Africa who has a sibling in the UK could get here would be to enter illegally and then claim asylum. She then realises what she has said - as evidenced by her lips...
Tim Loughton(Tory MP) - I'm a 16 year old orphan, from an East African country, escaping a war zone & religious persecution, & I have a sibling legally in the UK... what is a safe & legal route for me to come to the UK? Suella Braverman flounders badly
