Using HTTPSCookie authentication should be the default.

Sadly, the following fact is unknown/ignored:

Using tokens for auth is HIGHLY insecure

🎯 “Angular’s steep learning curve? Maybe not as steep as you think.”

At iJSCon, Rainer Hahnekamp clears up one of the biggest misconceptions about Angular — and explains why the framework’s learning curve might actually be fairer than it seems.

I was informed there is an update.

Read : www.aikido.dev/blog/s1ngula...

As I was afraid, the 40 packages mentioned this morning where just the tip of the iceberg 😅

And yet another NPM supply chain attack hits.

Details: socket.dev/blog/tinycol...

Please #angular, #node, #js, #typescript, and other authors. Can we stop using `postinstall` scripts?

Also, please #npm, can you disable all automatic scripting?

And force 2nd factor auth, no exceptions anymore?

From the archives: “Misconceptions about CSS Specificity”

- Misconception 1: Specificity is a decimal score
- Misconception 2: Using the style attribute (“inline styles”) adds Specificity
- Misconception 3: Using !important adds Specificity

Wow @scott.hanselman.com

👏👏👏👏👏

Late to the party, but what a good talk.

I just applauded a screen! Not sure what happened there 😉

For everyone else, watch Scott's talk!
I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

We've been working hard on signal visualization in #Angular #DevTools and would love to know what would be most useful for you. Any features, ideas, use cases you have in mind? Please let us know!
