I would just like to point out that not all sites do the following (and I'm unsure if OKC does), but watch out for tripwires as chacham15 said. Some sites that I've had the misfortune of "getting to know" use insignificant or blank inputs a

The argument there would be that the user "provided" the app owner with their email address, where at this point Google is just giving it to them. Don't get me wrong, I'm on the, I don't care side. I was in a store one day when the clerk as

Worse case scenario that I can think of is that they use the same password for their email as they used for the in-app auth in the App they bought. Next step would be for the app creator to login, see what they can use to create requests fo

Actually, it comes back to the user, not so much the coder. After I left a job a while back they hired some random as a replacement. The replacement had no Linux experience, so the next best thing for them was to tell the owner to move all

Being self-taught, I too have had to deal with the lower than everyone else wage. It's hard work on a daily basis when you spend a portion of your time helping out other "learned" members of the team by fixing mistakes that you /facepalm at

I'm amazed someone hasn't said "well that escalated quickly". On topic, I've never really released code due to being scared of peer-disapproval, and also paranoid from the public display of potential attack vectors I haven't seen. I don't t

I've been out of the loop for too long, but back in the day (when Tube sites were just starting up), it was getting harder and harder to make money. So many people were starting up, and Visa was cracking down hard on charge backs. The bigge
