"Hello my friend. Stay a while and listen."

BOSS.

I upvoted your comment just because it had links to the reference you made.

Also, the sketches were funny; thanks for sharing them.

Love the dramatics.

This ancient one has learned the art of pragmatism. A little time in the trenches of enterprise development can do that – turn passionate ideals into practical choices.

Some days it’s C++, some days it’s Java, Python and so on. In the end, the code compiles, and the ancient one get paid.

I might have agreed a decade or two ago, when I knew no better. But today, I find the tribalism surrounding programming languages comical.

I don’t particularly like Java, but I use it because it pays the bills. Similarly, I use C++ (which I prefer) when my work requires it.

Now a days many businesses choose Go.

Many companies may choose something other than Java, but Java is still the behemoth.

Such a decision is taken when the company is completely new or if it is a green field project.

Even in the case of the latter, companies just choose to stick with their existing tech (read: expertise and experience of their tech teams)..

Love it when software behaves in a non-deterministic manner.

I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.

The developers got hired by a company which is the latter.

As for your data, you can make a decision after reading this: https://blog.omnivore.app/p/details-on-omnivore-shutting-down

TIL there exists a thingamajig called Chegg.

Looking at some of the news and discussion surrounding the game, it is clear that there are significant financial transactions involved.

The game is also four years old, well beyond the stage of mere interest checks.

It could be argued that the hack was carried out without a specific goal or knowledge of what data might be gained (as a display of hacking prowess, for instance). However, in this case, it’s clear why this particular game was targeted.

Whether or not the users “deserved” it is a separate discussion; one where I would agree with you. Many of the people involved may have been too trusting or gullible in their investments.

The comment you are responding to had meant that a bad actor can cross check other breached datasets for the emails and usernames leaked from Earth2.

Since people reuse not just passwords but emails too, one may get access to other accounts of the impacted users, potentially even to accounts which have not been breached.
