Ha, so that’s why they’re called hail“stones”. Not even the biggest one, just the first I could grab.

Open palm holding a 4-5cm hailstone, ragged edges, like some mutant ice cube.

Big Steve Ballmer energy from @devoxx.fr "Spring (developers)! Spring (developers)! Spring (developers)! Wooooo! 🍃" (With less sweat, fortunately)

The Halloween @github.com contribution view is pretty neat :D

Aaron Parecki on OAuth2 (for MCP servers). Perfection 😙👌 Source: youtu.be/mYKMwZcGynw?...

Diagram summarizing modern OAuth 2.0 best practices. The RFC6749 OAuth Core shows four flows: Authorization Code, Implicit (crossed out), Password (crossed out), and Client Credentials. Annotations recommend PKCE and newer RFCs: RFC7636 (PKCE for confidential clients), RFC8252 (PKCE for mobile), and best practices for browser apps. A red “Security BCP” banner advises against deprecated flows. Under RFC6750 Bearer Tokens, three token transmission methods are listed: HTTP Header, POST Body, and Query String (crossed out).
