Man I love hackfests. Just re-read an article I wrote in 2022 about hackfests at @fusionauth.io . As the company has grown the logistics have changed, but the spirit is still there.

Here's a picture of our presentations last week (costumes optional).

Day 2 at @leaddev.com NYC!

In the spirit of public service, Blair Ewalt did a survey of sponsors.

Results: 52% of sponsor booths (24 of 46) mentioned AI or a close derivative such as 'agentic'.

Come on by and say hi. We can talk to you about AI, but won't force you to talk about AI.

Fun to talk #auth at LeadDev NYC with @bewalt.bsky.social and Andy Pai and all the attendees.

Love conferences like this. Already have learned about nuclear plant servicing, SCIM requirements and customer service team success metrics.

I guess it isn't just ChatGPT and Claude who are automated sycophants.

Another great reason to attend community conferences like @rmrubyconf.bsky.social or @sw2con.bsky.social .

Job opportunities and chances for conversations with hiring managers where you are not flotsam in the LinkedIn sea.

How you can tell you've truly RTOed: bringing a plant in to the office.

Uh, the hero image doesn't look to be properly set up.

Always fun when you are trying to create an account and they tell you "something went wrong" but not what.

Excited to join the @torc.dev team tomorrow in their Laid Off Lounge, where we'll be chatting about skills new devs need to succeed, based on my book, blog and experience.

If you can use OAuth/OIDC, prefer it over SAML.

Now talking about SSO vs OAuth.

Watching @calebhearth.com talk about programming concepts that Rails "borrowed" from other places.

Including active record, REST and more.

When you get a JWT, you must must must validate it. Just had a 15 min conv at #railsconf about this, but the short version is:

- check sig (using a lib!)
- check standard claims (iss, aud, nbf, exp at min)
- check custom claims

Cool to see what versions of rails everyone has used.

If you haven't put a sticker down yet, this poster is at the end of the hallway away from the help desk, past the main stage.
