Quote: The most important tool for working with legacy code: Empathy
That could be if you had the previous programmer in your reach.
In the rest of the cases is patience, a lot of patience... and nerves of iron could help too.

Swiss company Proton is known for its privacy focused solutions including secure mail, VPN and password manager. Today the company launches a new service, Proton Drive for Business. This one is just like the other cloud services, but different people look at your files
OK, I actually almost trust Proton to not look at the files.

How many times does the letter R appear in the word “strawberry?” According to formidable AI products like GPT-4o and Claude, the answer is twice. It's more a fan of chokolit

Despite receiving raises, technology professionals across age groups report increasing dissatisfaction with their compensation and jobs, according to ITPro Today's 2024 IT Salary Survey Report. "One thing I know, I want more, I want more"

"With a rebel yell... more, more, more.... more, more, more!"

As an ex-coworker said: That's not a salary, that's a compensation for pain and suffering.

While the idea of a quantum internet has a huge amount of potential, getting it hooked up to the regular old internet has its challenges. Now instead of 10-20 years from now, it's only a couple dozen

SafeBreach security researcher Alon Leviev has released his Windows Downdate tool, which can be used for downgrade attacks that reintroduce old vulnerabilities in up-to-date Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server systems. Lower shields. What's the worst that could happen?
Dog bless "Security researchers". And by 'bless', I mean, 'beat about the head and shoulders' (there's a nastier version of that a friend used to use, but it's not KSS).
Posting as I think there is a potential legitimate use for this - undoing those patches that don't deal well with your install.
