What I learned when spammers found my newsletter form
Spammers used my newsletter signup form to bomb strangers' inboxes. What the attack is and how I stopped it.
Welcome to the General hub, the catch-all corner of the site where I gather everything that does not sit neatly inside a single product or platform. Think of it as the front door to a handful of focused sub-areas, each with its own flavor. In Announcement I share site news, milestones, and the occasional event worth your time. Over in Deep Dives I slow down and unpack a topic properly, from architecture patterns to error handling. Opinion gives me room to share a point of view, while Quick Take collects shorter, sharper thoughts on tech and AI. If you want practical recipes, Quick Automations rounds up small builds you can finish in minutes. You will also find Feedback, Newsletter, and Questions and Answers. I built this hub so you can wander in without knowing exactly what you need and still leave with something useful.
