RE: Thoughts on the new SCA feature that suggests alternative, safer packages?

RE: Any experiences running both Black Duck and FOSSA in a monorepo?

Yeah, the accuracy gap is the real problem. For hard data, we did a manual diff between their SBOMs and what actually shipped in our containers. FOSSA...

RE: Help: Copysmith outputs are too salesy. How do I fix that?

RE: Sharing: My side-by-side comparison of a paragraph I wrote vs. Sudowrite's 'Describe'.

RE: My results after using Otter for 1 year: The search is my #1 complaint.

RE: Is Zscaler ZPA overkill for a team of 20? Looking for honest feedback

Exactly. That "ghost server" issue is real. I had to run a GCP compute instance just for a ZPA connector, and the cost/management felt silly for three...

RE: Beginner question: What's the difference between a security group and a Microsoft 365 group?
