The last time I flew they did this, but there was a huge sign that said photos are immediately deleted after verification…is this not true?
At my org the security is so heavy that it’s a multi-step, multi-tier fix (meaning the one Helpdesk person has to escalate, the first tier that gets it has one password but not the other, that has to go to second tier, etc.)
They announced weekend hours all weekend on Friday and given we’re talking tens of thousands of potentially impacted systems, my guess is it absolutely won’t be done by Monday. That doesn’t necessarily mean business is dead in the water, but it’s definitely more chaotic and slow moving.
Typo’d property names when accessing was the biggest one. Assuming a property was one data type instead of another and not casting or handling it appropriately. Accidentally calling something like it’s a method when it isn’t.
I ran a bunch of plugins on my end to help with some of that, but many of the older or stubborn devs refused and would refuse anything but, like, vim with no add-ons.
110% agree. But…
One job I worked at wouldn’t let us do this because it created too large of a QA impact (lol). We were only allowed to modify code in the smallest section possible so that testing could be isolated and go faster.
At another job they mandated that TypeScript wasn’t allowed because it “slowed down development”. It was soooo laughable. The number of bugs introduced that could have been readily caught was absurd, but management never put the two pieces together.
In my defense, the backend contracts change so often in early development the any just made sense at first…
…and then the delivery date was moved up and we all just had to ship it…
…and then half of us got laid off so now there are no resources to go back and fix it…
…rinse, wash, repeat
At my primary day job, no, they’ve already announced weekend hours to all employees to resolve issues one by one. I feel for IT/Helpdesk.
At two of my friends day jobs, yes. Everything was fixed by late afternoon.
At another friend’s day job, no, and things aren’t looking great as their disaster recovery plans, staffing, etc. were not prepared for this. It’s sounding like it could extend into next week for them.
For another friend of mine…he got turned away at Starbucks this morning because their computers weren’t working. I guess we’ll see if he gets turned away tomorrow? Haha.
