It’s an easy trick: they just check the domains of the email addresses of people who created an account and display the logos of the high profile ones.

Writing Solid Code by Steve Maguire

Really well written and an easy read. Examples in C but applicable to any language. At some point I was reading it once a year.

Re:Ask HN: Love fixing bugs but don't enjoy coding anymore. Burnout? on Thursday January 16, 2020 @08:51AM (#22064459)
I've been there! I definitely felt the same 4-5 years ago after 15 years as a software developer. I then changed to a support engineer position on a product for software developers (i.e. Travis CI). And it was amazing! All I was doing all day was troubleshooting/debugging customer issues. Given my background as a dev, I could dive into the codebase when needed and also look at the logs and metrics to understand what was happening. I also had the chance to code some tools to help deliver a better support experience (e.g. Slack bots, admin dashboard). This is definitely my new calling and I'm currently looking for a new position on a similar product after a rewarding 4+ years at Travis. Hope this helps!

You can get up and running pretty fast with Eve in Python: http://python-eve.org/.

It has OAuth2 out of the box.

Currently using it for a personal project.
