This is fair, but it's at least broken up so they can selectively gut the parts of it they don't like instead of having to figure out what a 300 line method named "process" does.

I had to rewrite our entire scheduling system at work to use Outlook instead of Google Calendar. The guy who wrote the Google Calendar scheduling system made it so unmaintainable that it was faster to just rewrite the entire thing from scratch (1000+ line lambda function with almost 0 abstraction).
At least 90% of what I wrote is just exception handling. There's ~15 different 4xx/5xx errors that can be returned for each endpoint, but only 1 or 2 200 responses.
Look, I'm as ready as anyone to jump on companies for mishandling data. I work daily with extremely private medical information protected by an ungodly amount of laws, and it pisses me off how whimsical most companies are with customer data. This one wasn't exactly their fault though. If you use the SAME EMAIL AND PASSWORD across multiple different sites it's not site B's fault when site A gets hacked and your login information is attempted on site B. It's also not even that surprising given people willingly giving up information this private aren't exactly the most privacy literate.
Could they have enforced multi-factor 2FA? Sure, and it would've mitigated some of the damage. However, I think we can all reason that they probably had the same password for their email and phone provider. Hardware keys aren't cheap, and most people just don't have them. It's also pretty reasonable that it would take a super long time to figure out someone logging in with a username and password was "hacked".
I, for one, welcome the formation of the New California Republic. Washington and northern Oregon can join too if they'd like.
Never heard that acronym. Is it torrent client, Radarr, Sonarr, and Homarr? I've been running that for a bit now, and it keeps pulling me ever closer to buying a small server rack.
They hit my mom's account with the wrong household bullshit when my little cousin who lives down the street tried watching a show. Thankfully I get it free with my phone plan and never use it, so I just gave her my account.
I'm stupidly close to buying an 18 TB HDD from Amazon, setting up Overseerr on my home server on top of the *arr/Plex stack I run, and giving everyone a login. I have gigabit so it's not like I can't support even Blu-ray playback. I figure if I set the torrent to delete after 2 weeks of not watching we'll never run out of space.
My guess would be someone who doesn't know React well made it. I don't know React well and I've made some atrocities. You forget to wrap one statement in useEffect and it's all over.
In fairness the computing world has seen unfathomable efficiency gains that are being pushed further with the sudden adoption of arm. We are doing our damnedest to make computers faster and more efficient, and we're doing a really good job of it, but energy production hasn't seen nearly those gains in the same amount of time. With the sudden widespread adoption of AI, a very power hungry tool (because it's basically emulating a brain in a computer), it has caused a sudden spike in energy needed for computers that are already getting more efficient as fast as we can. Meanwhile energy production isn't keeping up at the same rate of innovation.
I'm more of a fan of the Japanese Golden curry, but that Vermont curry was way better than I expected.
My partner and I live in Silicon Valley and it's cheaper for us to rent a car when we need it than to own one. We'd use it maybe twice a month so rentals just make more sense. We're moving to San Francisco soon though and at that point we'll likely never own a car and just transit everywhere.
Something people don't tell you is you can file federal and state taxes at completely different places (they're 100% separate anyway so it really doesn't matter). I did this one year using freetaxusa for federal, and some other tax software that did state for free but charged for federal.
This next year though I'm hiring a CPA because my shit has become complicated.
Obviously this is anecdotal, but of my friends in tech (early to late 20s) I'm the only one who has not used hallucinogens or psychedelics. I don't think a single one of their salaries (not TC) are under $150k.
