Security through obscurity, Elastic at Microsoft Reactor
Security through obscurity, Elastic at Microsoft Reactor
Hello 👋🏽
Welcome to my weekly tech musings. Do reply to me on what you liked this week and what you want to see more. In addition, you could access old issues here!
It is a thin week for me with a lot of learnings which I want to share soon. But, first, I want to destroy few myths that many in the security industry advocate, “Open source is not secure” and “Security software should be closed source.”
In addition, I see many companies actively advocate “Security through obscurity,” which is terrible because, if at all the attacker discovers the vulnerability, the system is insecure again.
The best way forward for the security ecosystem is to recognize this and collaborate for more excellent enterprise safety as we become more and more digital-native.
What I made this week?
TBH, the release train at Elastic is something that probably many engineering organizations envy! Elastic 7.14 is here with a bang, and I wrote a tweet thread on the same, take a look.

What I read this week?
Chet Hasse & Romain Guy are probably the best people in Developer Relations to give a Comedy/Satirical talk on Tech. Recently, Chet wrote a book on Android about the team that builds Android OS. As one of the early adopters, devs for the Android platform, I’d recommend this book to you!
This weekend marks the launch of a book that I have been working on for the past four years, Androids: The Team That Built the Android Operating System.
This blog summarised several intricacies of NextJS into a single page, especially useful for backend developers.
