Someone should buy Madison Square Garden, rename it Madison Circle Garden, and then send in a paper with a proof for how to square a circle with bureaucracy.

Numerous. I'd honestly be more surprised if there was a fascist regime that *didn't* have a night of the long knives or a night of the broken glass.

Usually, logs are only consulted when there is a reason to do so, and they are often millions or more lines, especially for a web service. Usually, you are going to search for a specific term related to what you are debugging, so it is conceivable few ever noticed it over the years.

A common way I see stuff like this happen is someone printing out all the GET and POST variables or the contents of a config file. Next thing you know, passwords on screen during a live customer demo -_- *happened to me 3 weeks ago – Junior dev learned a valuable lesson*

Agree. Just slightly more understandable. It is the kind of error I have seen Junior devs make without thinking and next thing you know, it is missed in a 5000 line pull request and not caught for years.

The thing that kills me is they have VC money – they already won. Go retire and stop trying to hoard money you will never live long enough to spend.

The for real weird thing is how the techbros keep convincing VCs to give them Billions for technological dead ends while in the spending years and years in the red because some VCs suffer FOMO because they missed out on Microsoft and Apple 40 years ago.

This is my reading as well. They didn't save them to the database directly but in their logs there was a line like [2024-09-30 10:33:12] DEBUG Login from JoeBob using password Pl4inT3xt!

That is because drones are actually useful, and they can actually fund themselves with their products.
