  • It happened to me when I was configuring IP geoblocking: Only whitelist IP ranges are allowed. That was fetched from a trusted URL. If the DNS provider just happened to not be on that list, the whitelist would become empty, blocking all IPs. Literally 100% proof firewall; not even a ping gets a pass.


  • Technical debt means how much work it takes to update legacy solution to a modern solution. E.g. each time a new C++ standard is used, all code written with the old standard should be checked. The work time needed to do this is paying up the technical dept.

    Now, if you are lazy, and didn’t clean up the code, used the easy and sloppy solution, next time you have twice the work to be done. So the dept gets worse, if you do nothing.
