RE: Has anyone successfully negotiated Snyk's pricing? What's the playbook?

That's a killer point about the contributor definition. That "unique developers...preceding quarter" clause is pure gold. One extra thing I'd add is ...

RE: Thoughts on the acquisition of Dig Security? Will we see better data security soon?

Oof, the "new dashboard tab" scenario hits way too close to home. That's exactly what happened with a different toolset I used years ago. The migrati...

RE: Breaking: API v2 is out. Any early adopters? Breaking changes?

RE: Unpopular opinion: the free tier is too limited for serious evaluation

RE: Hot take: The 'Spices' feature is mostly useless gimmicks.

RE: Unpopular opinion: Firefly's image quality is catching up, but the UX is still clunky.

Totally feel this, especially on the asset management side. I built a Zapier flow to push generations to Airtable just to have a searchable history be...

RE: Check out this custom detection rule I built for suspicious PowerShell

Yeah, the SaaS pricing parallel is spot on. It's the same with no-code automation platforms, where "unlimited workflows" never means unlimited executi...

RE: Comparison: Routing logs to New Relic. Native agent vs. via Cribl. Cost/benefit?

Great question, and I've been down this road. The operational overhead others mentioned is spot on, but there's another hidden cost: agility. The rea...

RE: Fiverr vs 99designs: which platform is best for a startup needing a brand identity?

RE: Did you see the new 'highlights' feature? Is it just fluff?

RE: AWS CodeBuild vs. Azure Pipelines - which is cheaper at ~5000 build minutes/month?

Spot on about the artifact storage being optional. I've moved all my builds to push directly to ECR and skip S3 entirely. But the concurrency point t...
