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.
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.
More like source available, since you can’t use the code in your stuff without the permission of the company 🤓
That screams: Open you source code and accepted correction !
It screams made-up internet story.
It screams both!
It’s an old joke.
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.
Rehire obv.
Good luck with that lol. Who would fall for that.
Corporate rated this strategy viable
I dunno, but it’d be funny
inb4 they wait until his last day then roll back the changes because functional code/unauthorized changes are against company policy and actually they need that bug to slow down the user so they don’t click so fast the database crashes.
Oh, you cynical (and probably right) monster. Cheers!
Always love this one, I’d do the same but there’s to many fucking things to fix.
Bro that reminds me when I was in university and I used to tutor fellow students with the goal of getting laid. As soon as I got laid I stopped tutoring. Now unfortunately I’m married and have kids because of that.
It’s an excellent tactic.
He finally won the war after so many battles.
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.
brakes
Lol, ya it was the breaks that I was too broke to afford brakes.
Thems the brakes
braycks
Bhrakes

That happened.

Repost #357
this is why open source?
Maybe the guy is content where he was, asks just wanted to fix that bug
the guy who contributed to proprietary software
