Everything is open source for this guy after using this simple trick. Big techs HATE him!
Imagine getting a big enough resume to get jobs at any company just so you can do this one neat little trick.
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.
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?
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.
Can you give an example how that would happen?
It’s pretty straightforward. Merge conflicts? No such thing! Just make my version the next version.
Reminds me of when my breaks started failing on my 1990 Chrysler LeBaron so I got a job at a break repair place long enough to fix them then I quit.
those bits on a car are called “brakes”. When a brake breaks, it’s a broken brake and needs to be fixed.
brakes
Lol, ya it was the breaks that I was too broke to afford brakes.
It seems like I’m constantly finding bugs in businesses’ apps. Do they not have people test them?
They do, and they have a backlog of hundreds of issues to fix and they must prioritise then. If fixing a bug doesn’t make money, it’s not priority.
