I am not a supplier (2022)

I am not a supplier 31 Dec 2022 - Thomas Depierre For the past few years, we have seen a lot of discussions around the concept of the Software Supply Chain. These discussions started around the time of LeftPad and escalated with multiple incidents in the past few years. The problem of all the work in this domain is that it forgets a fundamental point.

The vehicle was supposedly equipped with the same software Tesla’s robotaxi Model Ys are using in Au

Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-17 17:06:14

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management. Similarly, let’s just imagine away the vague grey area between consumers and businesses
