Really excellent point. The way we try to handle this is by sealing off the part of the system that has any access to customer credentials, and making sure those credential are as minimal as possible (e.g. we can grant and revoke permissions to an existing user, but we cannot create new users or new permissions).
We build primitives for best-practice security controls so you don't have to :) Basically, it's a bunch of building blocks that you can string together to help roll out workflows that ensure compliance with infosec policies.
Hey everyone! Yasyf, CEO of Sym here. We're so inspired by the HN community, and supporting builders and engineers in making their companies more secure is a big part of why we're building Sym.

We're an MIT-based startup looking to bring 21st century software to the broken trillion dollar industry that is last-mile delivery. We've just transitioned from beta to production and are looking for a full stack web developer to lead the management of our entire stack.
You'll be working closely with our CTO and Chief Software Architect in designing and implementing new features. Example deliverables include designing and implementing our analytics pipeline, streamlining communication between our web-app and our mobile app, enabling communication between our API and vehicle telematics devices.
We're very excited to meet anyone interested in jumping on board - let's grab coffee and chat!
That's very helpful feedback. Looks like I'm going to have to spend more time making this a "marketable" product. I'll definitely be addressing the questions you raised, thank you!
In terms of my market, my initial goal was Pebble users/developers, but it hadn't occurred to me to look at it from the other end: the sites that could be targeting Pebble users. Perhaps this is something I should consider...
