A self-replicating worm. A phishing attack on chalk and debug. AI assistants writing code that does who knows what with your credentials. I wrote up some notes on what happened and how to actually defend against it: https://dev.to/thisisjofrank/npm-install-pray-333112 Mar 2026 15:19 +0000at://did:plc:wpfeafwwpi2wfyogaeidm2j7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgup5zia7c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/thisisjofrank.bsky.social/post/3mgklzcfocc2jI turned 40 this year, and perimenopause seems to have hit me like a freight train. I'd like to talk about it this #IWD. What’s shocked me is how little I knew about it before. We’re not taught about it so we’re not prepared.
