Last week, we saw plenty of posts about integrating DeepSeek into applications, running it locally, and similar topics. What surprised me, though, is that while I expected issues to surface, I didn't anticipate such a massive security problem with DeepSeek AI chats. Big thanks to Gal Nagli for this research: https://www.wiz.io/blog/wiz-research-uncovers-exposed-deepseek-database-leak . We've seen countless discussions on how companies achieved this cheaply—but also so insecurely. This reflects the current state of the industry, where everyone is racing to outdo competitors in budget, speed, and features while completely neglecting security and stability.

Want to become a tech lead but tired of info that’s either too technical or just hot air? Let’s shake things up. I'm working on an exciting educational program for those wanting to step up into technical leadership roles. 🚀 Here’s the deal: 1. 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: We need both tech chops *and* the soft skills. Most programs make you choose. Why not both? 2. 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵: No, you don’t need to be the expert on every single subject, just need some solid basics. Know the principles. Understand the key ideas. 3. 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: Get familiar with both technical elements and the non-technical stuff in one place. It’s not about being the best coder or the best manager. It's about combining skills and mindset to lead effectively. 4. 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀-𝗼𝗻, 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹: Reading is good, but doing is better. Real-world scenarios and challenges build experience and confidence. Creating this unique program involves a mix of inspiration, educa...
