Me1000, you should mention to the folks here that you actually worked on the address book stealing code during your time working at Path so you are particularly aware that the statements in your post there are both untrue and self-serving.
- Me1000 14y agoI've never hidden that I interned at Path. The address book debacle happened long before I ever joined. The code you're talking about did little more than normalize phone numbers so it could be hashed _before_ it was sent to the server. It's been about nine months since I've worked at Path and as you may know (although, given how baseless your comment is, perhaps you wouldn't know)... startups move quickly, Path has released many updates since I've left. It's incredibly disingenuous to suggest what I'm saying is untrue (since both statements I made are provable with empirical evidence) or that I had any motive other than trying to get people to think before they go on a witch hunt. Droithomme, if I know you personally, I would appreciate you contacting me privately.
- chris_wot 14y agoFWIW, while I disagree with your stated opinion, I can also see how you came to it. I think most of us here realise that your opinion is separate from your past employment.
- chris_wot 14y agoDoxing Me1000 is incredibly uncool.
- kevincennis 14y agoThat's not really doxing, I don't think. He's got links in his profile and the same username as on Twitter. Lots of people know Randy. He's had posts on the front page of HN. As much as a developer can be a "public figure", I think he is one. If John Resig posted about DOM libraries and someone mentioned that he wrote jQuery, I don't think anyone would suggest he'd been doxed.
