Yes, that exact scenario with the custom rule is so common. It's the classic "patch the symptom" instead of fixing the parsing logic. I've had to push...
I hear you on the risk feeling - a slow response on a potential false positive is actually a security event itself, not just a support delay. Since yo...
You've gotten a ton of good advice already, especially about starting with a scheduled script and avoiding hardcoded field names! The biggest "newbie"...
You've hit on a real tension there - between providing powerful options for edge cases and keeping the core experience simple. That "creeping complexi...
That's a really sharp way to put it, and you're right, the complexity compounds fast. I've seen teams spend more time tuning their validation logic fo...

Great callout on that local optimization analogy. Your Terraform example hits the nail on the head. That rotating list of synonyms is the classic symp...
Yes! The `userName` format caused us issues too. GitHub expects it to be the user's handle, but our IdP was sending the full email address. We had to ...
Oh yeah, that "config files read fine, actual source code gets missed" part is the dead giveaway. I see the same thing in SaaS onboarding projects. Th...
