so the new QA guy just raised 8 new tickets all of which are UI related

full stop is missing
buttons are slightly misaligned
need to add a space in between
etc

all these things can be fixed over a 5 minute call, but noooo he took screenshots, created report, created 8 separate jira tickets with the steps to reproduce and attached screenshots and sent the testing report to all the managers

is this normal in big companies? i feel like it's grossly inefficient and unnecessary

I work in a 20 person startup, the previous qa guy used to call me up directly and explains the issues, he only creates tickets for the things which couldn't be fixed in an hour, I usually fix most those things in under an hour and he provides sign off

has anyone noticed an influx of new accounts who primary post shitty jokes / memes?
i saw like 10 of them just this week!!!

it's like amazon but for drugs

i get a lot of anxiety if i didn't push my code or save somewhere remote, especially if i make a lot of changes
is it just me?

so its IPL(cricket) season in india, there is a OTT service called hotstar (its like netflix of india), the cricket streams exclusively on hotstar..
so a quick google search reveals literally thousands of emails & passwords, found a pastebin containing 500 emails&passwords ...but those are leaked last year most of passwords are changed & many of them enabled 2FA.. after looking through them we can find some passwords are similar to their emails , some contains birth year like 1975,1997 etc, some passwords end with 123 ..so after trying a few different versions of the passwords like
1) password123 -> password@123, password1234
2) passwordyear -> password@year
2) for passwords similar to emails, we can add 123 ,1234, @ etc
created a quick python script for sending login requests

so after like 30-40 mins of work, i have 7 working accounts

*for those who have basic idea of security practices you can skip this part

lessons learnt
1) enable 2FA
2) use strong passwords, if you change your password , new password should be very different from the old one

there are several thousands of leaked plaintext passwords for services like netflix,spotify, hulu etc, are easily available using simple google search,
after looking through & analysing thousands of them you can find many common passwords , common patterns
they may not be as obvious as password ,password123 but they are easily guessable.
mainly this is because these type of entertainment services are used by the average joe, they dont care about strong passwords, 2FA etc

just wanted to share with you guys,
instead of spending 1hr writing shitty code to fix a bug quickly, i just spent tha last 10 fucking hours and finally fixed it

I'M FUCKING PROUD OF MY CODE, IT BELONGS TO A MUSEUM

i wanna smoke what that developer is smoking

fuck linux

Is it weird that i enjoy all these rants and the dev's frustration?
it really calms me down whenever i see a long rants, creative insults, excessive swearing
because it reminds me that my situation could be lot worse, thank god I'm not in one of those situations
