Hi All

I am using the Facebook Graph API to post the link on the Facebook page.

For that, I have generated the "page access token" which is used as the parameter when hitting the API to post the link on the page.
It is working fine.

But,
is it okay to push the access token in git repository by the security perspective or is there any better way to implement it such as getting the access token from the backend using the API call?

Can anyone please help here?

Hi, I'm a scientist (chemical, biochemical) who has always worked with various streams of data covering a range from various types of spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to data from longitudinal drug studies. Eventually, the data rate/volume became so high with improved instrumentation and other efficiencies that I needed to learn programming to scale my work. I currently do work related to health, including data engineering, data science, machine/deep learning in the health, infectious disease, and weight loss spaces (chatbots for the latter case). I'm very interested in ML/DL projects as well as improving my dev/data ops and signal processing skills. My main language is python, though I have some proficiency in R. Just to keep it real (grew up on the command line in pre-hard drive era of computers), I use VIM as my IDE :).

Hi! I heard about dev.to from the podcast Ben did on The Changelog back in August. I've been getting into Medium lately, and loved the idea of something like Medium, but even more focused on software engineers.

I am a Computer Science major and former kid who loved programming who has worked in various multidisciplinary roles over the past decade, but is now excited about getting back into programming and becoming a full-time software engineer. I have a broad range of experience and a handle over the fundamentals, but am now immersing myself in modern software development tools, frameworks, and practices.

Hi, I'm Dmitry.

I started coding when I was 10. I had my first Spectrum ZX-80 computer without HDD, internet, or any other network. There was only 48kb of RAM and a floppy drive! :)

Many years have passed since then, and now I'm coding in Python with a huge amount of data and computing resources.
I enjoy the world of IoT, such things as Arduino, Raspberry PI, etc.

Traveling is my second passion. I've already been to 30+ countries and I keep moving forward to new ones.

I'd love to share my experience with you!
