By 2027, all Android devs must verify identity, even outside Play Store. I’ve long argued developer identity is a supply chain attack vector—this move shows the industry recognizing it as key to reducing malware.
Google will ask all Android developers to verify their identity starting next year.

It’s a wonder secrets are still such a huge problem….
This is exactly why Secrets Manager charging 40¢ a month per secret is such a bad look for AWS.
Conversely, storing secrets in source code remains free. Theoretically.

As predicted, 2024 was the year of ADTR. No Doubt, Incubus, and Chino always appears (this year in the form of Crosses instead of the Deftones). Bad Omens was last years reigning artist and still holds on. Oh and Disease by Lady Gaga is such an addicting song.

I attended at least a dozen huge tech conferences this year and didn’t get sick once. Get together for Turkey Day with 8 elementary age nieces and nephews and BAM!
