This makes me wish there was a <love> button on HN. I have shared your request with Les.

While we are not porting the SDKs, we are targeting end of April for framework integrations, so most Stormpath users can migrate with a pretty simple version upgrade. Most users are working with these and not our base SDKs. We are prioritizing: Java Spring Java Spring Boot Node Express ASP.NET 4.x ASP.NET Core

One question: How are you securing the Oauth connection? Oauth2 is nervous-making.

Ok, one more question: If I deprovision someone in GApps, will they automatically deprovision elsewhere? Vice versa? Where's the source of truth?

One thing missing here: Ask the "target" person before lobbing an introduction into their inbox.

Intros aren't always welcome - the target could be busy, traveling or have a conflict of interest. They may not be in a position to give that person time, however helpful they would like to be. When the supplier assumes the introduction is okay, they can put both sides of the intro in a tough spot.

Thanks! The website is shiny new, and I added this to our list of bugs to squash. Any and all bugs/suggestions welcome --> [email protected]

Yes, my read was that its a joke.

The tone of this post is yet another reason to love team Watsi. Really fun for an early stage company (for-profit or non) to be spending time and money on this instead of on more interesting things like building their business.

The upshot for us is that we can let customers know not just that we're having an issue, but also details about the issue that might impact the service. As a SaaS API, its important that we give good transparency into even minor blips in the service. Statuspage.io isn't as customizable as I would like it to be, but it makes it really easy for someone not on the dev team to manage communication while others fix the problem. Also, its hella straightforward to set up and use. http://status.stormpath.com/

I agree with the direction of the industry, and your abbreviated rant, except I think they are trying to get attention with... anything at their disposal.

For me what is interesting is how magnetically opposed developers can be to a perceived outsider. And how that works against the recruiter, etc. in question. E.g. We're really lucky with our outside recruiter and she has a lot of credibility, but when she hung out at our booth at OSCON with her lovely female assistant, they clearly stood out and attendees cut a wide swath. Same thing at a different con with one of our investors: extremely technical guy, but you can spot his BD/VC uniform from across the room. I shuffle their conversations away from my booth.

Conversely, I had an interesting conversation in a booth at a different con, where after 20 minutes of talking to me (messy ponytail, company tshirt, jeans, tigers) about our stack, a guy said to me, "Wait a sec, you smell like marketing." By which he meant that I was coming across as non-technical as we got deeper into the technical details (totally fair - I am not a professional developer). I think he felt bamboozled by my lack of shininess.

The shiny girl probably like being shiny, and don't care for the tshirt/jeans/ponytail uniform. There's actually a lot of cool ways technical women subvert the uniform without freaking anyone out (I have hot pink lipstick). I would venture they feel uncomfortable about standing out more than they are plotting to lure you.

David - you are one of my favorites, but what does Recruiters being pretty have to do with finding/not finding a good one? This is a great article, but is there a tie-in I'm missing here?

I wish I could double-upvote this post. There are a lot of resonant topics for women in technology.

I applaud you, sir. And your website, which is very elegant.

This is an awesome improvement. I agree with BPatrianakos that hashing has not been easy enough for the average PHP dev - we hear that a lot.

As another option, you can also just not build any password infrastructure. We do all the hashing and authorization as a secure service and there are PHP devs of all levels using it... http://www.stormpath.com/docs/php/quickstart

HN isn't in German. Not everyone works/learns/wants to spend all day in English

I received and posted the email, and many others on twitter have also received it.

Also, not sure we should take blog comments for the gospel before all the facts are out.

I think you're right on both these points - your point about commitment is our CEO's lead hypothesis, which I definitely did not capture as articulately as this.
