Security Checklist (What can be done in CursorAI & software-level not infrastructure!)

Configuration Security

  • Detect secrets in code
  • Identify secrets committed to version control
  • Flag hardcoded credentials

Authentication & Authorization

  • Identify missing authentication checks
  • Detect improper authorization patterns

Scaling your API with rate limiters

The following are examples of the four types rate limiters discussed in the accompanying blog post. In the examples below I've used pseudocode-like Ruby, so if you're unfamiliar with Ruby you should be able to easily translate this approach to other languages. Complete examples in Ruby are also provided later in this gist.

In most cases you'll want all these examples to be classes, but I've used simple functions here to keep the code samples brief.

Request rate limiter

This uses a basic token bucket algorithm and relies on the fact that Redis scripts execute atomically. No other operations can run between fetching the count and writing the new count.

Automatically translated snake_case method calls into their CamelCase equal

A module to automatically translate snake_case method calls into CamelCase method calls. For example:

class MyObject
  include Snakeable
  
  def FooBar
    "baz"
  end

end

When I upgraded my Mac to OS X Mavericks, a lot of utilities (like Python, virtualenv, Xcode) broke, and it was pretty stressful trying to get it all set back up. Hopefully this guide can spare you some of that pain.Note: I'm by no means a Linux or Mac expert, so please fork and let me know if anything is redundant, incorrect, or missing!
# A guide to prevent pain and suffering while upgrading to OS X Mavericks
# This will vary greatly depending on system set up, so read the instructions carefully
# Back up Virtulenvs
####################
# Very important!
# For each virtualenv you have, run "pip freeze > requirements.txt" while in the activated virtualenv
# in order to prevent loss of dependencies during the upgrade.
