Funny thing...

My company sent every employee one of those fishing emails trying to see who would compromise security! If I failed I would have been sent to a 4h online course about security.

I laughed when I read the email, it's seriously stupid... something about messages being quarantined and that I need to check them by clicking a link.

Maybe I should tell them I'm in crypto and each day I receive 30 fishing DMs through Twitter and Telegram, 2 fishing emails with exact front end replicas of real exchanges, and at least 10 ad tweets that are also fishing ๐Ÿ˜‚ I've been playing the game on hard mode already.

One thing that I love about Software Engineering is the fact that I have to figure out workarounds for a lot of stuff...

Was given a task yesterday to implement something in a component that is still in development... There is no remote branch at the moment for that component, and the guy that is supposed to develop it hasn't even started working on it.

While drinking Coffee in the morning and scrolling Twitter I was thinking to myself "How can I make some advancement in this task without the component being developed, it's like trying to fill a pool that is still not constructed..."

Ended up designing everything for another similar component, and when the guy finishes the main component I can probably just copy and paste the functions and have half the job finished.

This is what developing is like, many times the hard part is figuring out how to do something and not actually writing the code.
