API security is everyone's priority... until release day.
Spent days writing API endpoints.
Added authentication.
Validated inputs.
Handled rate limits.
Then someone says:
"We'll do the security testing after launch."
🤦
It's funny because APIs are becoming more important in almost every application, and even industry reports from Market Research Future point to rapid growth in API security testing over the coming years.
Yet somehow security testing is still the first thing that gets pushed to "next sprint."
Then production becomes the test environment.
Every.
Single.

I have learnt Claude on how to do advanced image generation and it worked out very well: See here the results of the cat avatars that i`ve batched with a mediocre prompt: https://devplace.net/posts/... > result is nice.
I have used an image api that i once programmed for the Snek bots so they could generate images. Creating such API yourself is very easy. All you need is OpenRouter, a list with image models. Flux is a nice one to have at least, good price / quality. 1ct per image.
Actually, you could also just generate a python CLI tool and instruct Claude to use that. The possibilities are unlimited.
Also learnt Devii image generation using the same API.4 -
I did put the devPlace.net output source up for review by an AI bot. Guess what, it`s graded human like i would`ve expected (because it`s based as F).
```
The HTML/CSS source of devplace.net was written by a human - specifically, someone with:
Frontend experience (BEM naming, CSS custom properties, responsive patterns)
Accessibility knowledge (skip links, ARIA roles, though with some mistakes)
A pragmatic, "ship it" attitude (duplicated variables, debug indicators, ad-hoc data attributes)
Personal infrastructure (self-hosted analytics, custom domain)
The site uses a server-side template engine (likely Python-based given the molodetz.nl connection) and the HTML is dynamically rendered per request. There's no evidence of AI-generated markup in the structural layer.
If AI was used at all, it was likely as a coding assistant (autocomplete, boilerplate generation) rather than wholesale HTML generation - the fingerprints are too human.
See the whole review of the source code: https://devplace.net/posts/...

If you call it slop, you not able to determine slop.
Btw, new members! devPlace.net is on a role! Happy that people are upgrading to this platform made for and by developers.
Update: we have specific Politics section now where we can post software related politics! Of course, the first post is a Lunduke yt video! :P1 -
It's high time I learned the arcane rituals of VR testing. Got the hardware. Got the console. Got the necessary adapters to connect the thing to the PC, too. Things are going to be interesting.

I‘m seeing only 5 rants in my Recent list. "Load more" doesn’t work. Algo sorting produces an error.
