MVC vs MVVM: A Real-Life iOS Interview Insight

In a recent iOS interview, a question about the role of the Controller in MVVM caught the interviewee off guard.
MVC (Model-View-Controller) and MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) are fundamental design patterns in iOS.
In MVC, the Controller handles user input and updates the View and Model. In MVVM, the responsibilities of the Controller are split between the View and the ViewModel.
In MVVM with UIKit, the ViewController still exists but acts as part of the View. In SwiftUI, a separate ViewController is not required.

Continuously Storing Traffic Data of Multiple GitHub Repositories Using GAS

The author of this article shows a method to store Views, Unique Views, Clones, and Unique Clones with limited retention periods into Google Sheets using Google Apps Script (GAS) and GitHub App Access Token.
Create a Google Sheet with one sheet per repository, where traffic data can be viewed in the Insights tab under the Traffic sidebar for each repository.
Manually inputting data by referencing these graphs is tedious, so it is recommended to use gh CLI.
For use with the GitHub API, a dedicated GitHub App was created and Access Token was issued for each GAS execution.
Two files were created in Google Sheets, main.gs and github.gs, and the contents of the code were pasted into each to implement GAS.
Once the file was pasted, the user can update the COLLECTION_TARGETS in main.gs with their information.
Configure the script properties in GAS, including GITHUB_APP_ID and GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY, to include setting up a scheduled trigger to update your spreadsheet once a day.
The giselles-ai/giselle repository mentioned in the article is for Giselle, a platform that enables no-code creation of agents and workflows utilizing generative AI.
The liam-hq/liam repository is for Liam, a tool that effortlessly generates beautiful and easy-to-read ER diagrams.
This method enables centralized management of Traffic data for multiple repositories, stores data beyond two weeks, reduces operational burden through automation and secure authentication via a GitHub App.

Advanced CSRF Protection with RSA

Advanced CSRF Protection with RSA encryption adds an extra layer of security and prevents unauthorized API usage, stale requests and brute-force attempts.
This approach uses RSA asymmetric encryption to verify the integrity of API requests and securely encrypts request metadata like method, URL, and timestamp.
The payload containing the encrypted data in the custom header is decrypted on the backend.
If the validation passes, only then the API request is processed, or else the request is rejected.
The article includes code snippets for client-side implementation (React + Axios) and backend implementation (Node.js + Express).
This approach grants three key features such as asymmetric encryption, request freshness, and method & URL validation.
The method is applicable to all API interactions and prevents criminals from misusing APIs outside of the browser.
The project 'Winzy Social' implemented this approach to enhance the security of API interactions and prevent unauthorized or stale requests.
The author encourages readers to try this approach and enhance their application security with encrypted, timestamped CSRF tokens.
The code repository and Live Demo are available on GitHub in the article.

Private LLMs for GitHub Actions

GitHub has introduced SecondBrain, a new action that allows the use of LLMs (Language Model Models) within GitHub Actions workflows.
SecondBrain works by deploying Ollama as a Docker container to host LLMs and automates the process of constructing RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) prompts using git commit details.
The SecondBrain action enables users to generate summaries of commits to the main branch, making it easier to understand changes without inspecting the diff directly.
This action leverages a local, private LLM hosted by Ollama and does not require external services.
