We were featured in the Upstate Business Journal!

If there is a stereotype that can be applied to coders, especially in these days of remote work, it might be the image of an isolated individual sitting in front of a computer in their home, living solely within the world of glowing screens.

FYI: Combatting Phishing with DMARC: Email shouldn't feel like a dark art, but to a lot of people it does. Everyone should have DMARC setup by this point, but they don't. Here's the first piece of a 3 part guide covering why it works and how to set it up.Since writing about how to reverse account takeovers last week I've decided to write a security series covering all the weird things I encountered back in 2012, when I accidentally ended up combating phishing and fraud for a year. In the last article, the first recommendation was to setup DMARC. So let's take a deeper look at why, how and what's involved in long term management once it's setup.

FYI: Video: SQL vs NoSQL Discussion at UpstatePHP: Here's the video from the August UpstatePHP meeting in Greenville discussing SQL vs NoSQL and where they are useful for your development process. I represented SQL solutions (*cough* PostgreSQL *cough*) while Benjamin Young represented NoSQL. Ben has actively contributed to CouchDB, worked for Cloudant, Couchbase, organizes the REST Fest Unconference (happening again September 25-27th) and is the owner of Big Blue Hat. I am a gainfully employed programmer...so...there's that.
