Just used it myself. Still very much working.

Goddammit Loch Ness Monster!

It just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

Dude, I’d ask so many questions if you brought that up in regular conversation and I’m not in your line of work at all. That sounds awesome.

I’m a sysadmin. No one really knows what people in my profession do, so they just assume it’s all servers and computers. I’m all about the automation tools, though. With the right tools and credentials, you can install apps, create accounts, provision a new VM, parse through your emails, brew a cup of coffee, and let your wife know you’ll be home early so she can get rid of her boy toy before you get home…all with a single click.

If you think about it from a security perspective, it makes sense. If a random person you don’t know sends you an email, the chances are non-zero that it contains something malicious. The provider has an obligation to filter emails that could be dangerous. They know that if a large email service sends an email, they have that same obligation and are therefore doing some filtering on their side to prevent malicious content. Trust is pretty important.
