Maybe a better title would be, "Humans not 100% reliable about ensuring accurate information stored within thousands of data records, despite such accuracy kinda being the whole point."

It's a free Bitbucket plugin. Well, freemium-ish. It requires you have Bitbucket Server running, which is perhaps not the easiest thing to setup, but Atlassian does give out 1-month free trial licenses, or you can use https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/timebomb-licenses-for-testing-server-apps/ for a quick 3-hour license.

I would say I'm most proud of this:

Decent UI for a monthly + interest style calculator. I like it.

I'd like to try this in an interview: how would you re-root a binary tree such that the ordering of the elements remains the same, but the root node of the tree changes.

Just get older. Then your friends will be richer.

Also, make sure the investors are people where you wouldn't be uncomfortable if they saw your company's annual shareholder reports every year for the next 20 years - both in the failure and mad success scenarios. An ex-spouse or potential ex-spouse perhaps not a good choice.

But I'll sure feel bad if I take their money and lose everything. Perhaps that would be motivating...

(Note: where I live (BC, Canada), the provincial government offers a refundable 30% tax credit for investments like this, so if I did lose everything, friends & family would only be out 70K).

At the 7-month mark one of the credit card companies (I owed them $15,000 at 29.9% APR) sent a piece of registered mail: if you send us 3 post-dated cheques for the next 3 months for $1200 each (total $3600), we'll consider the debt paid off.

I ignored them and did a Chapter 13 instead. (Well, the Canadian equivalent).

Struts 2.2.3 (oldest vulnerable version) was released on May 7, 2011. Personally I find it easy to imagine an app depending on that, going into prod, and just chugging away, forgotten for 6 years on some obscure corner of an enterprise's public (or internal) web assets.
