I've been beaten much worse at that. 12 years ago we were writing a very ambitious media asset management platform as a service (yes, in the cloud basically) and I needed tons of pictures and videos to test the system and fill the database and filesystems and test the image pattern recognition engine and else. Guess what I did? Yeah, I loaded an humongous heap of porn into the software, pictures, videos, everything.
Then the very important finance guy and the very important communication lady from whatever big important investor came unexpectedly and demanded the mother of all demos RIGHT NOW.
Boys, I know what it's to be embarrassed to death and to wish being an earthworm. Preferably deep underground. Like in New-Zealand.
- cookiecaper 15y agoYou actually demo'd the product like that? You couldn't have bought an hour or two to empty out the porn and replace it with kitties? I am curious to know how this played out. Thanks for sharing. :)
- wazoox 15y agoRemember that it was in 2000 or 2001, several years before youtube and most other sources... Actually there were hardly any downloadable videos except porn :) In fact there was quite a lot of harmless material too, however I really hoped that they wouldn't ask for a keyword that would bring forbidden pictures, or worse, ask to use the mouse themselves! I think we managed to avoid any incident this time; however a little later the boss discovered what was in there and he wasn't happy.
