It didn't suddenly go that way. It was always the plan. A loss leader.

Are you a recruited? JavaScript is not Java.

"When I work I like to do my job and then relax."

They like to do it the other way around. They do nothing, then something. You do something then nothing. Why do you feel that your way has to b the right way and everyone else is wrong?

Do your workload, and no more, and be fine with it, or move to another organisation with the same problem.

The goal is for you to be able to understand that people in this world are different to you and that is fine. As long as you aren't doing their job for them, it's all good. If you choose to do that, it is on you.

I cannot see this working. Unless it can ask if you have enough anaesthetic and stop when you do not, otherwise, it'll be an expensive torture device.

Really ain't writing code in termux. I want an IDE. Why use a substandard device?

Programming? Nah. It's a consumption device, not a creation device.

It was more than one mistake. Where was the QA, the staged rollout, the CI? It brought unto question how competent this company is to be a dominant player in such a critical market.

Nothing like artificial scarcity to screw more money out of folks.

Oh no. That means I'm going to have to continue not buying EA trash.

Nah. I played it also. It was fun.

"If you would like me to be on call, we need to discuss remuneration."

If you cannot ignore slack in the evening, weekends, you gotta be bad at your job. If you are good, employer won't want to replace you and you can condition them to respect boundaries.

"I sent you a message, why didn't you respond?"

"I didn't see it."

"What were you doing?"

"Cooking. Food shopping. You know, the essentials to survive"

Not that I'd elaborate. I much prefer the "I had plans/a prior engagement".

If they ask, "I cannot really discuss this, it's private"

That era was peak Pro Evo.

You can ignore that also...

Length of time never means quality of decisions. Always best to validate. So easy to package up malware and farm folks bank accounts.

What?

Was that just an embarrassed verbal vomit?

You were wrong, and rather than admitting, or leaving it, you continue trying to spew words in the hope that you confuse and distract people from realising you were wrong. Are you that insecure?

What you are referring to is heuristics. It's simplistic. Effective for wild animals that require processing of complex information quickly to escape predators for example, but not so much for civilised humans that require a greater deal of accuracy.

You demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the approach by assuming I'm a Democrat or even American.

The skill is in understanding the process, the flaw and developing a capability for critical thought. You'll get there eventually, hopefully.

For it to be the most secure app in the world, you'd need to understand the main attack vectors, and how to mitigate them. You'd have to understand them and how you mitigate them better than how Signal or Element mitigate them. Finally, you'd have to get it audited by a reputable security auditor than will validate your claims.

If you do not have the money, best bet is to have a donation method or 2, like Liberapay, Open Collective etc. and fund raise for it. Active users are more likely to donate, so get folk using it. Focus more on what it is and it's advantages. "A secure chat app that can be run regardless of hardware out of your browser*. Long term aims to be the most secure app in the world. Join us on that adventure."

If you do not know, learn. If you really want to create the most secure chat app in the world, you have to become a subject matter expert, know the challenges and rivals. There is no shortcut in this. Depends how much you want this.

Oh, and yeah, JS, if you're using node, keep your app and dependencies scanned and up to date constantly.
