This presumes that they won’t maintain those, which would be a valid choice to maintain PayPal’s market penetration (if that’s the goal). Diverse offerings etc

It must have been removed, given that the initial evidence of the exfil specifically demonstrated .env files being included. And .ssh/* for the user which ran this in $HOME.

I’d like it if my leadership stopped using load-bearing, and others like “shape” and “estate”.

In the past, when you saw a new term of art it came from some book being passed around leadership (like Architect Elevator) or some new training program. “Platform mindset”, “Shift-left everything” etc.

These days, they are all coming from LLMs. You can probably infer which contracts we have from the wording of all-hands messages.

I even LIKE “shape”, it’s nice and generic and everyone immediately understands it. I just see it as an obvious low-impact brainwashing, and wonder what other effects there are that we don’t notice.


That’s the fault of the SEC EDGAR tool. The Edgar MCP docs show setting an env var: ‘SEC_EDGAR_USER_AGENT="Your Name (name@domain.com)"’.

Claude just followed the instructions. Which is maybe even more risky?


Interesting theory. The Claude Code instance says it's using this user agent based on the guidelines in the EDGAR Fair Access Policy: https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/edgar-search-assistance/a...

...which indeed requests that bots supply `User-Agent: Sample Company Name AdminContact@<sample company domain>.com`.

So in this case, the site just asked nicely and Claude Code complied. Note that this wouldn't have worked for Claude Chat, which the author was testing, because the `web_fetch` tool cannot set the User-Agent or other headers.

Same question, same scenario. I tried it on MacOS, and the first issue I experienced (don’t recall what it was) had me deep into Redhat forums to even understand what was happening. Switching to OrbStack was a no-brainer, but there are obvious tradeoffs from a features perspective.

I think the target market isn’t doing this; heck, I’d normally be like you, but the price is low enough here to “one and done and forget it” here.

Indeed. I read the entire article, it was great. Domains can be a big PITA.

I’m just happy to see diversity here; sometimes I feel like Nvidia is going to eat the world, with buying other fabs and branching out - or up, I guess - from chips and racks to models, frameworks, and end user stuff.


I unfortunately agree with you, selfishly. This used to be the forum where one could mostly find interesting technology and ideas and discuss them with intelligent people. An escape from the standard online hell and it’s people who must truly enjoy conflict - which my body instead interprets as anxiety and terror.

But now it’s here, and so are they. It’s probably the same people. It’s probably me.
