Developers are the first group to adopt AI at work. Here’s why that matters.
From starting at GitHub over 10 years ago as a developer to becoming the Chief Operating Officer, I’ve learned that developers are often bellwethers for change across the rest of their organizations. That makes investing in—and learning from—them critical.

As you may have already seen, on October 21st, it was reported that a long-running, successful MITM (Machine-In-The-Middle) attack against jabber.ru had been detected. The nature of this attack was not specific to the XMPP protocol in any way, but it was of special interest to us as members of the XMPP community. This kind of attack relies on being able to present a TLS certificate which anyone trying to connect will accept as valid. In this case, it was done b … ⌘ Read more

Лето в «айтиобщаге»
Этим летом Яндекс открыл «айтиобщагу». В ней жили ребята, которые приехали на стажировку в наши московские офисы из других регионов. «Айтиобщага» приняла первых стажёров в начале июля и проработала до конца сентября. Окончание сезона летних стажировок — хороший повод ещё раз вспомнить, как всё было.

С чего всё началось

Самый стажёрский сезон в Яндексе — лето, когда у студентов каникулы, а самый стажёрский город — Москва. Стажировки идут и в других городах, например в Питере, Екатеринбурге или Новосибир … ⌘ Read more

Snikket: On the jabber.ru MITM attack
This post is about a recent security incident on a public XMPP service, which
provides jabber.ru and xmpp.ru. We have received a few questions from Snikket
users about whether they should be concerned about the security of their own
servers (Snikket also uses XMPP).

The good news is that Snikket was not affected by this incident - this was a
targeted attack against the jabber.ru/xmpp.ru service specifically. Later in
the post we’ll share more information about what we’ve done, and … ⌘ Read more
