A couple years ago a friend of mine mentioned that he had known another mutual friend of ours for many years, much longer than I would have guessed. I asked him "what does he do?" and he thought for a moment before saying "you know ... I have no idea, it has never come up".
I don't know if this is acceptable in the US, but I always found it distasteful when people ask about your job 30 seconds into meeting you. I think it's much more polite to talk about generic stuff until jobs or skills come up naturally. Sometimes, they just never do, and that's fine. Need to know!
We actually have users that synchronize their resources from various sources (AWS, Kubernetes, etc) into SpiceDB, explicitly so they can perform these kinds of queries!
One of the major benefits of a centralized authorization system is allowing for permissions queries across resources and subjects from multiple different services/sources (of course, with the need to synchronize the data in)
Happy to expand on how some users do so, if you're curious.
Absolutely _baffling_ piece of software. It's like if someone added vim keybindings to a TODO app, then switched the keyboard layout to COLEMAK, then removed all the UI controls.
I use it like once a quarter and trying to remember how to mark a task finished makes my eyes water.
Hah, well I'll avoid _talking to_ vendors, more specifically I'll avoid talking to salespeople selling a technical product until we're pretty deep in the product. I do tend to not use vendors that don't have a good self-serve path or mechanism to get my technical questions answered.
Edit: found it using these instructions.
