How exactly would this work? Let's say I have been coerced into making a back door, and my company has a policy of enforcing code reviews for every project. Surely, somebody would notice? Or would they count on me to do my best to obfuscate the back door? What if I "don't know" anything about obfuscation?
- mcv 8y agoGood question. I think nobody knows. Most likely what happens is: * You make the change * You report back that you made the change and it's now pending in code review * Your change gets rejected in code review * Australia tells you to make the change and circumvent code review * You tell them you have no way to do that; every change goes through code review * Australia wants to know who reviews your code, and if your code could be reviewed by an Australian * Your boss asks you why you haven't delivered any changes recently and why are you constantly on the phone explaining the code review process * Australia contacts a reviewer and tells them to accept your next change or else * You get fired before you can submit the change again
