When I realized my job isn't to code, it is to hack for hacks.
As smart developers our job is to be accountable to non-technical product management types who care nothing for elegant system design or DRY code. They expect features get done fast and "technically complete." They use terms like "minimum viable product (MVP)" to imply we'll go back and improve things like refactoring and tech debt later.
They will not. Most likely they won't even be around. Producers and scrumlords have the highest turnover rate of any role on a team. By design they get bored or frustrated easily and are constantly looking for greener pastures. Many people in self-proclaimed "non-technical" roles like this never had the patience and attention span to learn a real vocation, and they've discovered a career path that doesn't require one.
These are our masters. As developers, we will answer to them forever and always.1 -
Got an assignment last year to use a buffer overflow to "hack" a series of problems within some kind of assembly code. There were 2 required problems, but 6 in total. I completed all 7 (one hidden bonus problem).
The teacher that gave that assignment ended up writing me a letter of recommendation for my masters program -
After putting a total of $396,000 into a binary options platform over several weeks, I attempted to make withdrawals to my bank account. Unfortunately, my attempts were unsuccessful. Alarmed, I quickly reached out to the platform’s customer care via both email and the phone number provided in their contact information. Despite my efforts, I received no response. At that moment, everything began to seem increasingly suspicious. Weeks passed, and I continued to be unable to access my funds. Then, out of the blue, I received an email from the platform. They claimed that to facilitate a withdrawal, I needed to invest even more money. This was a blatant red flag, and I refused their demand. After rejecting their request, I never heard from them again. It was clear that I had been scammed, and the gravity of the situation left me devastated. I felt a profound sense of loss as my hard-earned money seemed to vanish. In my search for solutions, I stumbled upon numerous online testimonies about how people had managed to recover their stolen or scammed funds through a service called Trust Geeks Hack Expert. According to the testimonials, Trust Geeks Hack Expert had a track record of successfully assisting individuals who had been duped, particularly in cases involving digital currencies like Bitcoin.
