I was including "economically viable" under "viable". I didn't even realize there were any available on the market yet, and looking right now it looks like they're still at the $2k price point and still have mechanical issues.
>Tech stack - I spend most of my after office hours in doing new projects, effectively, I like to use the skills learned in the job. So an advanced tech and freedom to experiment with tech is always a top preference
>sustainability - a continuous revenue-generating company or dependent on new sales every time
>motivation - be it a side project or office work, I enjoy working on the problems that are pointed out - greater the impact, more the involvement
>hierarchy - from my experience, too many levels above you is a problem not just in career growth but also product implementations, which kills the pace and transparency
Auth0 isn't a password manager. It's an authorization platform. If they stole Auth0 API secret keys and/or saved logins to the Auth0 management portal, they'd have access to other users' accounts but not passwords.
Seems a big reason for that was the lack of maturity in the node module ecosystem 6-7 years ago.
From the interview:
"How do we gone down a PHP root? I think from a product point of view, we'd probably be a lot
further along than we are now, because in the PHP ecosystem much like in the Ruby
ecosystem, or even the Python ecosystem to some extent, this tooling is well understood. It has
evolved over a long amount of time. You have your defaults that just work. You have your
libraries, which have been time-tested, proven they're great.
Whereas in end of 2012, beginning of 2013 starting out into the node.js ecosystem, pretty Wild
West. There's not a lot of stuff going on. There was barely a usable authentication library that
we could start working with. Even to this day, it's not – there's a lot of things where if you were
working in Ruby or PHP you’d go, “Yeah. Obviously, I'll just grab this library that everyone uses.”
Whereas in node you go, “I can't believe that doesn't exist.”
I think when we wrote the first version of Ghost that wasn't a usable RSS library for parsing XML
and delivering RSS feeds in node, and that was just mind boggling. Then that has repeated
enough times to where it really slowed us down."
