That this keeps coming up on HN is fascinating.
I'm just imagining some programmer in a future interview talking about their familiarity with async functions in Javascript. The interviewer glances down at an app named "Mirror Test Pro" that cross-referenced that claim against an old HN post revealing ignorance about the upshot of social distancing. It consequently overlays a red "X" on the programmer's avatar. "Thanks, we'll be in touch," the interviewer says as the programmer is shuttled out the door.
And I'm imagining many such programmers becoming frustrated when a breach of MTP data reveals why they kept getting rejected in interviews. They would band together and write a powerful DDOS tool to exact vengeance upon the world that humiliated them. Lucky for the world, their sudden, synchronous silence gives enough advanced warning to thwart the attacks while their CPUs helplessly whir on one giant blocking call.
