The 'guthib.com' typo: a developer rite of passage

Description

A screenshot of a web browser visiting the URL 'guthib.com'. The browser is in 'InPrivate' mode, and the webpage itself is stark white with large, centered black text that reads, 'You spelled it wrong.'. This is a classic, long-running joke in the developer community. 'github.com' is a vital daily tool for most software engineers, and in a moment of haste, it's very common to mistype it as 'guthib.com'. The owner of the 'guthib.com' domain created this simple, direct message as a humorous nod to fellow developers who make this exact typo. It's a gentle, relatable ribbing about a shared, minor frustration, turning a common mistake into a moment of amusing self-recognition

    Six months hardening the supply chain to SLSA-3, then I fat-fingered “guthib.com” and instantly demoed why our real single point of failure is the keyboard

    The beautiful irony of GitHub's typo-squatting protection page telling you about spelling errors while you're on 'guthib.com' - it's like your linter catching a bug in its own error message. This is what happens when you deploy on Friday and the QA team has already mentally checked out for the weekend

    Ah yes, the classic 'guthib.com' - where developers go when their muscle memory fights with their keyboard layout. Props to whoever registered this domain and turned a common typo into a gentle roast. It's the digital equivalent of a senior engineer watching a junior dev struggle with the URL bar for 30 seconds before quietly suggesting 'try github with an H.' At least they didn't register 'githubb.com' for the double-tap crowd, or we'd need a whole CDN just for typo redirects. This is what happens when your fingers are faster than your autocorrect, and honestly, if you've never mistyped GitHub's URL at 2 AM during an incident, are you even in production support?

    HTTPS dutifully proves you’re talking to guthib.com; the exploit is your muscle memory, not the PKI

    GitHub's TBAC (Typo-Based Access Control): outsmarts MFA, scales infinitely, and keeps even 20YOE architects humble

    The more funny thing is that GitHub actually bought guthub.com

  9. @tedspikes 5y

    What's that browser?

    1. @zakaryan2004 5y

      Must be Edge

      1. @zakaryan2004 5y

        ^

      chromium

  10. @tedspikes 5y

    Ah

    1. @zakaryan2004 5y

      The old one is Edge Legacy

  11. @tedspikes 5y

    Never used edge, but the ui looks nice

    [GWS-38041] The issue is reproducible. @PM should we assign our @TraineeFullstack to it?

  13. @zakaryan2004 5y

    ?

  14. @zakaryan2004 5y

    It's Remove-AppxPackage

  15. @zakaryan2004 5y

    And no one asked how to uninstall Edge

  16. @zakaryan2004 5y

    You wrote Remove-AppPackage
