may 15, 2008I admit I am no front-end web developer. For me, writing code for a website is basically:
- Does this work? Yes. Cool.
- Does it really work? Yes. Awesome.
- Does it look kind of decent? Yes. Nice!
- Can I do some security stuff with it? Kind of. Good.
Yesterday was Crack Day at Yahoo! and I guess Alice was in the mood to do a security review of my mindof code. And she had some nifty front-end engineering security tips for me (since she is a front-end engineer). And of course, she came up with some horrific hacks that could happen if I didn't update my code.
So, I just updated the code with the tips that she gave me on the security side (updated code here). There are some scalability and not-as-critical security enhancements she found, which I need to work on soon. But, I wanted to get the critical stuff in there right away and released.
My thanks to Alice for the awesome tips and for teaching me some cool stuff.
