Everything is open source for this guy after using this simple trick. Big techs HATE him!

NGL I apply to places where I use the software. But it's not one thing, it's a dozen things I would fix.

I actually never successfully got the job. Probably because during the interview, I come off like a rambling psychopath pointing out extremely specific things.

Honestly, anybody with a gender studies degree can get into software developer nowadays no sweat, nowadays the fortune 500 standards are so low that they'll just hire anyone on the spot without even questioning it. Honestly only started to take note of this the second Biden got into office, the quality of software overall has gone down. Overall, back to open source, I never truly got the open source movement in general, never been my thing. Proprietary software is inheitly more secure which is why most enterprise systems still use windows xp.

I kept reading waiting for the punch line, didn't see one. I think I've fallen victim to Poe's law. I legitimately can't tell if this is satire.

It seems like I'm constantly finding bugs in businesses' apps. Do they not have people test them?

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

they test them...

Whether they do anything with that testing is another story,.

[–] chocoladisco@feddit.de 0 points 3 months ago

We are supposed to be testing them? /s

Let the patch be part of the code for one or two minor releases. Then revert the changes of the patch.

Why would they do that? Talk about generating mistrust.

It may not be malice. Incompetence.

They are going to “accidentally” remove a fix?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

By not understanding how version control works. I've worked at places that had a surprising number of developers who would just merge things in ways that drop code from other developers.

[–] siipale@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can you give an example how that would happen?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

It’s pretty straightforward. Merge conflicts? No such thing! Just make my version the next version.
