nah a long time ago they moved everything to run as 'nobody' and that was before the move off of those systems and onto things like ECS.
fun fact jeff's employee id is like 72 or something while still being the lowest as they didn't reset the oracle sequence once they got that system working after testing but before making his user.
- paranoidrobot 5y agoI know it's unlikely, but I've grown (even more) sceptical over the years. I've stopped being surprised when I encounter some configuration file somewhere with a comment: "TODO: Fix this later" and it turns out more than half the business relies on that thing being configured that way. Even at companies who do have the money and technical resources to do things right, things get forgotten, or pushed back on. So, while these are problems that are unlikely, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering... "Did they have something dumb like this, too?"
