Real examples here?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.
But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.
Also the guy who fixed GTA Online's ridiculous loading times.
“Yeah, the load times are shit, but they aren’t shit enough to tell some intern to spend two months figuring out what’s going on.”
“What about when some nerd fixes it in a week and embarrasses us when he shows how it was caused by the addition of the shop?”
“We’ll fucking sue, that’s what.”
“What if we just paid him the bug bounty instead?”
“Fine, no need to Streisand this time, I guess.”
Rockstar being actual rockstars in their response :D
