I'm not sure if @TradeStation product team is purposely trying to make the friction so high that I'll give in and hand over my banking credentials, or if they just don't care, but the experience has been entirely a negative one.

So I refuse to do it. Most of the time, there's an alterative flow where it's validated using small deposits, but it takes a few days. Except @TradeStation, they make you fill out a paper form. After two weeks and 4 submissions, I still haven't linked my bank account.

An appsec anti-pattern I absolutely hate is asking users to turn over their financial credentials to "verify" account ownership, such as adding a bank account (think @Plaid and @Yodlee). This habituates users to give away their credentials, NOT something we want to teach them.

True story, I used to help operate a BBS and we published our own magazine. I should scan those in.

Wish there was someone who could do a one hour talk on all of those and why companies should adopt them.
There’s always devtools to delete these annoying overlays from the DOM, but yeah, would be far better if devs just made a useable site.

This is from the Casper Star-Tribune (August 18, 1921). The "overseer" mentioned is Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who took control of Zion, IL and the church then lived a lavish lifestyle until forced into bankruptcy. Later on his deathbed he confessed to theft. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur…
Let’s do it at CactusCon then. That makes it easy.

How soon were you thinking? You mentioned next year. CactusCon is in early February, we could meet there. If we want something sooner, Saturday, December 18 is open for me.

Never been there, but I’m guessing if we’re spending money, they’re not going to care?

I called, they were not open to it. Maybe a restaurant instead?
