I interviewed the Rails developer who "accidentally" hacked 37signals

4•basileafe•3mo ago
I just published part 1 of my conversation with Greg Molnar, who found critical security vulnerabilities in console1984 and initially disclosed them in the wrong order (blog first, then notify). Jorge from 37signals handled it brilliantly - no lawyers, just "hey, next time contact me first."

We also discussed building Spektr Scanner when Brakeman changed licenses, his life on an island, and why he thinks "security is mindset, not memorization."

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jphaSlu_aTw

As someone new to podcasting, I'd love feedback from the HN community on the technical discussions.
