Just to be clear, it's not all about the thrill for me either, it's just when I was bombing that hill with nothing but two wheels between me and being smeared across the road I realised what it might feel like to have the power of

The idea of riding a motorbike terrifies me. I cycle regularly for fun and exercise, I do about 45 km at an average speed of about 30 km/h, and I have a couple of near misses every time I go out. Whether it's someone opening their

No I mean the fact that this was possible on their website, XSS is one of the simplest things to test, in fact it was one of the standard tests UI testers would do on new screens. Not saying they were compromised.

Is Companies House's website not done by GDS or something? I worked on a few GDS projects for DFT, we had to have independent pen testers test our services before they moved between phases.

It's like the story of the factory hiring the experienced engineer and getting a massive bill for tapping a machine with a hammer. Paraphrasing from memory: The factory had a machine break down. They hired a few cheap engineers who wer

Just to add to the anecdotes: I bought an iPad Pro (the one before the LIDAR one) with the intention of using it to take notes, and I completely failed. Combination of feeling self-conscious bringing it into meetings and using it at work, a

I only recognised it by association with "venereal diseases", and even then I had to look up the definition, which showed I was wrong in this case. I think there is something to be said for flowery language, but obviously there ne

That sounds awful. I felt similarly for the first few months of WFH, but I think that was because I had it in my head that WFH was temporary. I've now accepted (and been told as much by management) that WFH is going to be the norm goin

No. We tried having daily "tea break" calls and weekly "Friday drinks" calls, but attendance was so low that we just cancelled them. Amongst people who were already friendly we still have private group chats in our work

Your second point conveys what I meant far better. I'm by no means saying one should be a shirker, I mean you should manage your managers by understanding that their role is to get the most work out of you as possible. Leaving yourself

Hell, I'd bet most developers do something similar. E.g. you're working on a ticket that's estimated for three days and you finish it at lunch time on the third day. Do you immediately ask for more work or do you take it easy

There is no mention of grammar here. I’m not sure how it is in the US, but in the UK we don’t even get taught the grammar of English. No one knows grammatical terms, like preposition, person, the name of tenses, the subjunctive, or even sim

I agree, the best testing process I've experienced still had people whose role was QA, but that was because they were considered experts and would lead the direction of QA and do final acceptance testing before a release. The process w
