An intern I was supposed to lead (as an intern) and work with. Which sounded kinda crazy to me, but also fun so I rolled with it. But when I met her I quickly found out she didn't even have a coding editor installed and when I advised one she was "scared of virusses". She had Microsoft Edge in her toolbar, and some picture of a cat as a background. We were given some project by our boss, and a freelance programmer helped us set it up on Trello. Great, lets start! Oke maybe first some R&D, she had to reaeach how to use the Twilio API. After catching her on WhatsApp a few times I realised this wasnt gonna go anywere. After a few weeks of coding and posting a initial project to git I asked her if she could show me the code of the API she made so far..

She told me she was using the quickstart guide (the last 3 FUCKING weeks) which contained some test project with specific use cases.

The one that I did 3 weeks ago that same fucking morning.

AND SHE WAS STILL NOT DONE...

A few days later I asked her about the progress (strangly, I wasn't allowed ti give her another task bcs the freelanc already did) and guess what... She got fking pissed at me

Her: "I will come to you when im done, ok?"
Me: "I just want to see how it is going so far and if you are running into any problems!"
Her: "I dont want to show you right now"

She then goes to my fucking boss to tell him I am bothering her.

And omg... Please dear god please kill me now...

Instead of him saying the she probably didn't do shit. He says to me that the girl thinks im looking down on her and she needs a stress free environment to work in. She will show me when its done. ITS A FUCKING QUICKSTART GUIDE YOU DUMB BITCH.

He then procceeded to whine to me about the email template (another project I do at the same time) which didn't look perfect in all of his clients.

Dont they understand that I am not a frontend developer? Can you stop please? I know nothing about email templates, I told you this!!!

Really... the whole fucking internship the only thing the girl did was ask people if they want more tea. Then she starts cleaning the windows, talk to people for an hour, or clean everyone's dask.

all this while I already made 50% of the fucking product and she just finished the quickstart tutorial 😭. Truly 2 months wasted, and the worse thing is I didn't get any apprication. They constantly blamed me and whined at me. Sometimes for being 3 minutes late, the other for smoking too much, or because I drink to much coffee, or that I dont eat healthy. They even forced me to play Ping Pong. While im just trying to do my job. One of the worst things they got mad at me for if when my laptop got hacked bcs it was infected with some virus. He had remote access and bought 5 iPhones 6's with my paypal while I was on break. I had to go home and quickly reset all my passwords and make sure the iPhones wouldnt get delivered. strange this was, this laptop I only used at the company. So it must have been software I had to download there. Probably phpstorm (torrent). Bcs nobody would give me a license. And the freelancer said I * have to *.

the monday after I still had to reinstall windows so I called them and said I would be late. when I came they were so disrepectfull and didn't understand anything. It went a little like this:

Boss: why u late?
Me: had to reinstall my laptop, sorry.
Boss: why didnt you do this in your own time?
Me: well, I didn't have any time.
Boss: cant you do this in the weekend or something? Because now we have to pay you several hours bcs you downloaded something at home.

Me: I am only using this laptop for work so thats not possible.

Boss: how can that even be possible? You are not doing anything at home with your laptop? Is that why you never do anything at home?

Me: uhm, I have desktop computer you know. Its much faster. And I also need to rest sometimes. Areeb (freelancer) told me to torrent the software. He gave me the link. 2 days later this happends

Boss: Ahh okeee I see.. Well dont let it happen again.

After that nobody at the compamy trusted me with anything computer related. Yes it was my own fault I downloaded a virus but it can happen to anyone. After that I never used Windows again btw, also no more auto login apps.

Finally did the switch to Firefox and migrated my passwords to a proper password manager. Bye chrome!

Just saw this:

Add comma's to your passwords to mess with the csv file they will be dumped in after a data breach

Registering a new account for microsoft teams:
`Your password cannot contain a space, &# characters combination, or the following characters: < >`

Are they storing the passwords in plain text? Are they not sanitizing the input? Why the fuck would they care if I put motherfucking emojis in my password? What the fuck are you doing to the passwords, Microsoft? TELL ME.

We should find a way to replace passwords: any password manager which I tried is inaccurate in identifying login forms and is too hard to use for non technical people older than 40 and convince people to not use some stupid name + birth year combination as their passwords is a frustrating uphill battle.

So i wanna try explain the concept of JWT to a 5(+55) year old, and also to myself who is noob at web stuff. please tell me if this is a correct analogy, because i am myself confuse regarding how its secure?

So A wants B, a blind jeweller, to keep his super valuable notebook page with bank passwords safe. B says "give me your sheet and 5 nickels". (Assume that every nickel is always 1gm, made up of pure iron . Assume these statements to be true and world-known )

B takes A's nickels, melts them, adds 20gm more iron, adds 25gm copper, adds 25gm aluminum and then adds 25gm carbon dioxide and makes a mixture that is impossible to revert , but will automatically disintegrate after 24 hours due to CO2 (again, pure true statement, but this formula is only known to B) .

He makes 2 exact copies of keys from the 100 gm mixture, gives one to A and says
("Anyone can either give me 5 nickels of same name, markings, and year and i will give them back this secret sheet. or they give me the same key fo next 24 hours,and i will still give them back the sheets. after 24 hours, this key will also not work. I will even keep this on public display that i make keys using the materials I just showed, and then also no one would be able to create he exact same replica because they don't know how much percentage of each material went into the mixture"

So is this true? I have heard my friend boldly claim that they don't store user passwords as plaintext or even encoded text but rather doing this :
user password + company's private key --->[public domain encryption algorithm] = irreversible public key which is saved against user profile as "password"

public key + other info + time bound expiring logic ---->[public domain JWT encrypted token maker algorithm] = reversible JWTToken which is sent back to user

if user sends back token, then
token --> [JWT decoder] = public key + other info

if public key matches the stored public key , then user is a real user and should be given data

if user sends back the original password, then
user password + company's private key --->[public domain encryption algorithm] = irreversible public key .
again if public key matches the stored public key, then user will again receive access?

So this means all the time we are transmitting a lightly jumbled up version of public key, which is itself a hard, almost irreversible jumbled up version of our passwords that can only be unjumbled via a private key (or jewellers mixture ratios) that companies hold dearly ?
