    I worked as a developer in electronic payments for 5 years and we had to go through a months long process to certify the code with the financial system. My bosses were paranoid of any changes I made (to a silly degree) and we had a silly amount of automated tests.

    We were a small startup with an underpaid staff and I’m not sure if more than 1000 people used our software. What they’re doing is completely reckless.

    Musk robs the treasury blind then Trump pardons him. Biggest heist ever.

    Holy shit lol

    I’m more than a decade into my engineering career. Nobody pushes directly to prod on my team, not even me. Everyone gets reviewed and tested.

    I read this and cackled in public. Because my god, however bad you think this is, it’s way fucking worse. Idk what a reasonable reaction to this is but wow. Just wow. Fucking. Cooked.

    Like member how everyone talked about graft in Russia resulting in funds meant for military maintenance being siphoned off the top instead of being used for what it was supposed to be used for? This is like that, except you don’t even have to have any excuses or anything, the money just… Disappears.

    Edit: Have you ever seen a check from the US Treasury bounce? These fuckers boutta be rubber.

      what i think this really means is that the treasury was hacked a long time ago and marko is making changes that were already written beforehand….
      otherwise this would be impossible.
      they entered those systems like three days before significantly altering the code….

        You can absolutely push changes to a system that you don’t actually understand.

        You might be right, but consider the alternative: “someone thinks that they’re so much smarter than the people who originally designed, implemented, and maintained a system integral to the functioning of modern society that they dismiss out of hand the idea of caution when dealing with it in situ.”

        If someone of that description were in this situation, what do you suppose their behavior would be?

      They’re past that, honestly. The SCOTUS decision on the POTUS being above the law was that moment.

      The POTUS has the same power that Hitler wielded after the Reichstag fire. Then they elected the worst person to have that power.

      You know the person weighing Hitler down was warmonger president Paul Hindenburg. There’s none of them in the US, and the only judiciary that could, won’t stop him.

    He also works 18 hours a day and sleeps on a cot in his office. That’s how you know his work is always flawless.

      I’ve seen a ton of studies that have proven that the quality of your home life is directly related to your own production which could profit myself and even more so the company I work for, and I have to say, what about next quarters numbers?

      He will probably leak it on discord dedicated to some treasury game to win an argument against some 12 year old.
