TWIL September 11th 2026
- OAuth redirects only require rendering HTML if the user isn't already authenticated
- Most people only interact with our user service through OAuth/SAML
- We just kinda leave SSO References around after deleting the relevant IdP, seems strange
- Confirming things is a good idea; I was right that
locale controls the language for unauthenticated pages but not for authenticated (all that matters)
- Checkly seems cool so far as a way to automatically run uptime/e2e-ish checks against prod
- You want to write tests a little different compared to e2e though, since resiliency is more important than faithful user interactions
- Since the main goal is checking it works, and your Checkly checks (probably) don't run in CI
- Less than usual this week becuase I'm off to Hong Kong from Thursday -> Monday!
