Duration: 4 hrs 56 mins

==== Topics Discussed

* We conducted link:https://talks.ourtech.community/4[OTC Talks #4 - Files, DAGs and the Yardstick^], with link:https://linkedin.com/in/krishna-gadia[Krishna Gadia^] as our speaker.
* General introductions.
* link:https://twitter.com/harshgkapadia[Harsh Kapadia^] talked about how he created a link:https://github.com/HarshKapadia2/git-server[basic Git Server^] that uses SSH.
* We talked about link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-XSS[Self-XSS^], where users are persuaded to run malicious code on their browsers by social engineering.
** A lot of products like link:https://meet.google.com[Google Meet^] have warnings written in their console warning users not to run anything in the console they don't understand.
* We discussed why someone would save link:https://jwt.io[JWT^] in the database and how it kills the purpose of not reading the database to get user information.
** A potential use case for saving JWTs in the database is to invalidate tokens before it expires.
* link:https://twitter.com/WilfredAlmeida_[Wilfred Almeida^] asked if it is a good idea to store user status (blocked, admin, etc) in the JWT token.
** link:https://twitter.com/KartikSoneji_[Kartik Soneji^] was against it, as it exposes internal information and if not implemented properly, a user/an attacker can change parameters and can compromise the whole system.
* Ayush Singh asked for help to deploy his link:https://react.dev[React.js^] and link:https://expressjs.com[Express.js^] web app on a link:https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/vps[Virtual Private Server (VPS)^] for a company and we suggested deploying it using a platform like link:https://vercel.com[Vercel^] as it is much easier to deploy and manage.
* link:https://twitter.com/KartikSoneji_[Kartik Soneji^] explained how https://www.mca.gov.in/MinistryV2/incorporation_company.html[company licensing^] works in India.
* link:https://twitter.com/WilfredAlmeida_[Wilfred Almeida^] asked how he can build a system where he can find the number of times a request was made by the user and charge them accordingly.
* We talked about why companies don't update their internal tools and why they are incentivized not to update them.
** It's extra work and time for something only with a few hundred users.
** Changing the UI might affect power users and disturb their workflow.
** "Don't change it if it's working" mindset.
