What the ariticle does not say 1. This is not something 'hacking'. It is just a javascript running in chrome that checks the text on a button. If it changes to 'buy' then hits the button again and again. The unexpeced thing is, after hitting the buy button, the site does not jump to the payment page, instead, it just increases the item number! That's why four people can order more than a hundred mooncakes. 2. They didn't pay the abnormal orders. One of the four unlucky men said he had called the administration immediately after he found the problem and wanted to cancel the abnormal order. What happened next? He got an interview with a HR after 30 minutes, at 16:30. And at 18:30, he had been officially fired. Here I do not want to judge if it is too tough to fire the four peoples so quickly. Let's see another old news of Alibaba https://www.quora.com/unanswered/What-do-you-think-of-Alibabas-recent-fake-exit-interview-notes-event https://www.quora.com/unanswered/What-do-you-think-of-Alibab... Last year, not that old. Can you guess the result? The HR who faked the exit interview just got an 'internal punish'. God knows what is an 'internal punish' but she was not fired. And the three developer who wrote the system got a 3.25 on his KPI which means 'just leave the company you rubbish' because the employee should not see the comment of the HR in the system. See? No matter what happen, the coders are always the people who get punished in Alibaba. Is Alibaba a great company? Yes, no doubt, it is a company with 250B USD market value. But as a coder, I do not want to join a company that lacks of respect for coders. Money is not everything. That's all.
