The hacker typed and it pleased the app
But you don't really sanitize it, do ya?
It goes like this, dot dot, then slash
Then up a dir, no not to /trash
The filesystem "just doing what I told ya"

../. ./.. /../ ../ ../ ../

The people who warned us that the internet would rot our brains have had their brains rotted by the internet.

Probably getting laid off today or next tuesday, in case anyone is looking for a low latency Java developer with 20+ years in the fintech space. Solid distributed performance analysis bonafides, as well as k8s bottleneck clearing.

I once got a trading platform from 700mics median to 39 mics median in a prod environment during a multimillion dollar hardware migration. Amusingly that is probably why I will find there are no seats available for me in the next few weeks. Nothing scares establishment more than someone who understands how the machines work when they do not.

Anyway, keep me in mind, willing to move, but remote is pretty dang efficient. I like efficient.

Thanks @bagder for the autographed sticker!

Downtown Boulder had protests on every corner of multiple streets. Like every direction you looked there were crowds of people with signs crossing every street. So it wasn't the two blocks of 200 people like here, it was more like the feeling that every pedestrian was protesting.
