   Yeah, I would argue that in-person code walkthroughs are worse than reviewing someone's code in isolation. Once it's merged in, the author isn't going to be there to explain what the code is doing here and there.

   Thanks again for the thorough and thoughtful responses. I started to write a number of counterpoints, then I realized it might not get us anywhere together. Perhaps it comes down to the way that I view web services: it's just a platfor

    The question is: are they fake accounts or fake fake accounts? The latter would be a pretty ingenious smear campaign.

    Is it possible the two photos were exported from some photo software ten minutes after each other, and the export adjusts the EXIF timestamp? Probably less likely, but just positing another scenario.

    It almost seems easier to pull off if you leave exceptionally early (3pm or earlier). E.g., if you leave at 4:15pm, that doesn't give any reminder that you started early.

    I have fond memories creating Java applets in high school; mostly games, physics sims... and later, a multi-calendar Google Calendar interface (one of the first times I got paid to write code).
