Re: Ask HN: What is the most useless project you have ...

I once worked for a VP who needed to sunset an old internal tool that people were unwilling to part with, so he asked me to make it suck intentionally.

Added random sleeps to slow down performance. Random alert messages about fake errors. It was weird.

EDIT: Since this is getting some votes I'll add some more details. He would also come by to tell me how happy he was about all the complaints he was getting about it.

Re: Twitter's pivot to x.com is a gift to phishers

> On April 9, Twitter/X began automatically modifying links that mention “twitter.com” to read “x.com” instead. But over the past 48 hours, dozens of new domain names have been registered that demonstrate how this change could be used to craft convincing phishing links — such as fedetwitter[.]com, which is currently rendered as fedex.com in tweets.

I'm in awe. Does Twitter have any software developers left, or is it just Elon's nephew working his way through W3Schools?
