cscheib | I hate morning | 11:03 |
rick_h_ | it's definitely something that I have a love/hate with | 11:04 |
wolfger | hate/hate | 11:19 |
wolfger | but I have had to do it for work for so long, I can't not be up early anymore. | 11:19 |
cscheib | usually I can sleep in considerably longer, but my allergies are acting up | 11:21 |
rick_h_ | wolfger: yea, the worst is on vacation when you're laying there with eyes open at 6:30am going ... dammit I am not going to get up and make coffee until 7am at least! | 11:21 |
wolfger | lol | 11:21 |
wolfger | been there, done that | 11:21 |
cmaloney | Good morning | 11:45 |
DrDaemonEye | morning cmaloney | 12:19 |
greg-g | soooo | 14:31 |
greg-g | last night, we had a search cluster outage | 14:31 |
greg-g | had another one the night before | 14:31 |
greg-g | guess what the cause was.... | 14:32 |
greg-g | a candidate for a position I'm hiring for (the aforementioned one where the req# disappeared) after hearing we wanted some code samples took it upon himself to test our search feature with strings known to bring down google back a decade or so | 14:33 |
rick_h_ | heh | 14:35 |
rick_h_ | "You're hired and you're pretty up to speed on your first project already" | 14:36 |
greg-g | or "dont' fucking test on things that will page people" | 14:38 |
jrwren | that is awesome. | 14:41 |
jrwren | If only I could have brought down rick_h's entire CI environment BEFORE my first day on the job, instead of 2hrs into it. | 14:41 |
wolfger | LOL | 14:54 |
rick_h_ | yea, greg-g now has upped my story with jrwren | 14:55 |
rick_h_ | it stood up for a good year :) | 14:56 |
_stink_ | haha | 14:56 |
greg-g | I got online, saw the search cluster outage, people were responding, I called/woke up the main guy, checked my email and a message from candidate with "so, I was testing, and here's the errors I found" ... I couldn't believe it at first and had the team confirm | 14:58 |
rick_h_ | lol | 14:59 |
jrwren | that is amazing. | 15:00 |
jrwren | you got free QA | 15:00 |
jrwren | you are lucky he emailed you rather than some stranger poking at your server and wonder why it failed. | 15:00 |
cmaloney | greg-g: That is ... somewhere between awesome and a pain in the ass. | 15:09 |
wolfger | that is deserving of a Fry meme | 15:10 |
wolfger | Not sure if I should hire him ... Or report him to the FBI | 15:11 |
greg-g | jrwren: yeah, definitely | 15:15 |
greg-g | wolfger: :) | 15:15 |
cmaloney | That's not FBI-worthy | 15:16 |
greg-g | depends if it's a violation of our ToU ;) | 15:20 |
jrwren | greg-g: good luck enforcing that. | 15:21 |
wolfger | just used keyword:terrorist | 15:22 |
wolfger | s/used/use/ | 15:22 |
jrwren | https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/07/court-violating-terms-service-not-crime-bypassing | 15:22 |
greg-g | jrwren: I know I know, it's a joke :P | 15:23 |
jrwren | greg-g: oh right, there is a winky smiley right there. sorry. | 15:24 |
wolfger | "alleged terrorist used known exploit to shut down our servers". It's a stretch, but I bet you could find an FBI agent humorless enough to pursue it | 15:24 |
wolfger | at least to the point of making the guy sweat | 15:24 |
wolfger | possibly not actionable unless you can prove damages (e.g. outage cost you money) | 15:26 |
wolfger | but yeah, I'm inclined to say "you're hired, please don't do that again" | 15:27 |
jrwren | wife just came home with 2 qt of fresh picked strawberries | 15:57 |
greg-g | win | 15:57 |
greg-g | tummy ache time! | 15:57 |
jrwren | oh PainBank, what are we going to do with you? | 16:01 |
