It's always worrying seeing news like this.

Those were my only reports on the platform before I gave up. Then I went to BugCrowd, submitted a report and it was accepted.

Pre-covid, I religiously saved silver (and gold). Just bought some every single paycheck for like 6 years. I had coins, jewelry, bars, silverware, etc.

I wished my parents had left me a treasure, but they didn't, so I thought I'd do that for my kids, maybe even leave them a map... But I don't have kids, so after being locked in my house during covid, I kind of went a bit crazy.

I sold it all and moved states (after travelling quite a bit). My collection was quite massive, and I 100% knew that this day would come, but I didn't care, I just needed a new view. I live near the beach now, but... if I just held, I'd be in a much better place. I hate myself a bit for selling.

But, OP, if you're going to have this, disclaimers, and a privacy policy are really important (especially for collecting emails).

I feel this. I'd get butterflies knowing I had to call him or hearing the phone ring. I don't know how people like this remain employed for so long.

>I would usually stay up 24 hours

This is wild. Hopefully you never have to deal with someone like that again. Likewise, I would just leave if it ever got to the point of interfering with my mental health again.

He's made woman employees cry. He's randomly shouted at others for thinking they were being "smart". He's also made me and another coworker contemplate quitting on multiple occasions. Dude has two moods: 1. Unreasonably happy. 2. Explosive anger.

When I had to work with him full-time, my mental health was getting absolutely destroyed. Imagine a whole 8 hours of someone indirectly/directly calling you stupid, shouting profanity, and just being super passive aggressive. Oh, and not forgetting the threats of being fired. He made it seem like the CTO was discussing it, but I think it was him trying to get me fired.

I felt like shouting at him the most hurtful words I could think of and quitting every single day.

I've just been working on side projects hoping one of them eventually replaces my salary (trying to find a different job in this economy is really unlikely). I don't want to work with people like this.

I remembered why I wanted to learn this stuff. It's not for money, or to look cool.

It's for the fascination I have for computing.

How do electrons flow through a wire? How do the chips within a computer direct that flow to produce an image on a screen? These questions are mind-blowing for me. I don't think LLMs can kill this fascination. Although, for web programming, sure. I always hated front-end programming, and now I don't really have to do it (I don't have the same fascination for the why of such tech). So will I ever learn a new front-end framework? Most likely not.

The lead indeed rewrote the codebase to .NET Core, but had trouble publishing changes to the server (his current method of updating views, for example, is to copy some files from his local version and overwrite the files on the server). I guess he couldn't do this with .NET Code, so he just reverted back to .NET Framework. To me, it seemed... odd. Surely there's a way to publish changes in easy manner?
