> It will not attempt the riskiest attack scenarios

What does that mean exactly?

Do you manually assess what is risky for a particular API, or is it up to the system to choose?

If it's up to it, what happens if it thinks that's not risky to delete user data?

What stops the reader from copy&pasting a term into a search engine? Maybe we are getting a bit too lazy?

When I drop a .ttf file on the page I get "Only images & fonts can be dropped onto this page!" message. If I try to upload a .ttf file I get "Only font files can be selected".

The file I'm trying to upload is "JuliaMono-Regular.ttf" downloaded from the provided link on the page.

Ok, I probably was a bit too harsh in my judgement. Those "junior" devs are helping us a lot, and I was in that position for long, too.

Just as an example, let me tell you that we currently have a (self-taught) intern which is years ahead of two developers from bootcamps which have been working with us for over a year.

Getting a job position doesn't automatically mean you are suited for that job, or that you're good at it.

And while there are good dev bootcamps, getting out of one and finding a job, doesn't make you a developer (or an "engineer" either, which in my country is a regulated title)

Maybe we're just unlucky with recruiting.

In my team there are people with 2 or 3 years of experience who need 5x to 10x the time it take a senior developer to do.

As I said, maybe we're just unlucky. Or maybe the whole IT sector is used to low-quality, low-efficiency jobs. Who knows.

TIL I can become a surgeon with a 3 months bootcamp

Do you understand that is just intern-level work?

I don't have formal CS education, but I've been working as a developer for 25 years. In the firm I've been in that last 15 years, only developers with 10+ years of experience actually make a difference. Others are either still learning, or just doing menial work.

It makes me a bit sad this trend of "become a developer in 3 months". It's just a dream.
