When I loaded the page I saw a bunch of placeholder text like "Hero title" for a second then an AI-generated image was the first thing I saw after that. Doesn't inspire confidence that it's "expert crafted."
70+ languages and 700+ courses would imply a staff of people were required to create something like this (if it's of any quality), but it's a "side project"?
Outsourcing, end of ZIRP, end of R&D tax credit.
Macro-economic conditions are pushing companies to do more with fewer people. AI might be helping with this, but it's pure marketing BS to blame it for the state of tech employment.
So is this a smear of Arko (and by extension Ruby Gems' sloppy security) but dressed up like a Security disclosure?
If I'm reading it right, it seems quite petty (and a bit cowardly). Arko was a maintainer was he not? How is that a breach? Presumably his credentials were not misbegotten, or is that the accusation?
After Arko's direct access was revoked, Arko retained access via possession of the root password (which RC should have rotated at the same time). Arko then changed the root password, locking RC out of their AWS account, waited a couple weeks, and then Joel Drapper blogged about the situation with proof that the now-fired Arko controlled the account, in order to make RC look bad.
one assumes he copied the AWS root password out of the RC-provided enterprise password manager / vault onto his own personally controlled password manager before he was locked out, which might be forgivable if it wasn't the root login for a major language's package registry

Strains credulity.
