Comment on ARE YOU AN EXPERT? by 2e0mca

We had a laugh the other day – Passwords inside applications often have to be changed. I get a call from a user that a link is causing an error. My coding colleagues spent half a day scratching their heads on why – they don’t let me code any more cos that’s been offshored and I just get to supervise Then, eventually, they spot the embarrassing error – one of them had changed a password and somehow had included a space on the end of the password in the code. Note to the team to action within the code…Implement trimming of spaces on all passwords! Like I said, embarrassing and it doesn’t help that being Indian’s they really take it to heart Hopefully my ‘these things happen’ approach averted any suicides – I can do without the paperwork and frankly I wouldn’t want to lose any of them as they are great guys
