I love this app. I let it run in the background when I walk my dogs at home and when I'm traveling and it is amazing how well it connects me with the world around me.
Authorization is a challenge for everyone, but has been solved by no one. As the people who wake up thinking about authorization each day we created Oso Golf, a game to help educate the developers about authorization.
We built the first iteration for this game for GraphQL summit, as a fun way for developers to learn Oso’s policy language. Attendees got really into the game, hanging out at our booth for upwards of 30 minutes to solve this with their friends.
So we got some feedback on the game and built it out into 9 “holes,” just like a Golf course, each hole teaches you a different principle of authorization modeling. We’re opening this up to the community today and are excited to see what you think!
Oso is building authorization for the next billion developers. We are building the product in Rust, which we think is both a good design choice for our use case and a fun choice for the team. I recently joined the team and absolutely love the culture and I'm inspired by the talented engineers I get to work with :) Current open roles:
- Engineering Manager (NYC)
- Software Engineer (NYC or Remote)
- Developer Experience Engineer (NYC or Remote)
- Head of Engineering (NYC)
The connection of psychedelics to capital efficiency and growth is wild to me - I do love Matt Levine's newsletter and I feel that part of this commentary was satirical in order to make a point.
I feel like Silicon Valley's psychedelic era is like a strain "tech bro" wellness culture (often referred to as "biohacking"). And just like wellness culture it's really hard to distinguish something that is helpful in small doses vs. something that becomes a gratuitous lifestyle (like drinking charcoal or putting jade eggs somewhere you shouldn't).
Thanks for posting this. I always wondered why Jessica wasn't a bigger part of the YC story that so many people told.
This line stood out to me in particular: _It's not just because she's shy that she hates attention, but because it throws off the Social Radar. She can't be herself. You can't watch people when everyone is watching you._
No matter what you get acknowledged for I think it's so important to always be yourself but to know what makes you strong is so challenging.
For someone who is "into the humanities" you ignore the fact that the Frankfurt school were some of the first who were actively rejecting this posturing towards reason. The "Dialectic of Enlightenment" is a treatise on the problems of rationality. It was written pre-WW2, as Hitler came to power. And it was quite correct in that this obsession with brunt progress was a fire that caused the Third Reich to rise up. It's very similar to what's happening right now, so please don't muddy up this discussion by saying that it's all witchcraft because it makes you sound like you are just spewing Ben Shapiro.
Question. Could I use this to store all my authorization tokens across a suite of apps used within a given identity management suite (let's say I have SSO with Okta for apps in GSuite, Jira, etc.)?
I'd offer to go out to coffee or lunch with this person, open up and ask if you could be of help. Just opening the door might be helpful. If the person isn't doing well, they are most likely getting feedback from their manager, or feel it in some way. If you open up and show you care, you set yourself up as someone who matters to this person, and then you set yourself up for giving candid feedback. I recommend reading everything by Kim Scott on this. It has helped me https://www.radicalcandor.com/
If this person's poor work is impacting yours, tell your manager. If this person's poor work is impacting your team, address it with their manager. If they come to you for advice on their performance, then give them feedback.
