Also, the GCash app hate any devices with Developer mode set to ‘on’.
It is part of the Philippine fintech movement to “blame the customers instead of improving our security”. It started last year 2023.
Their argument is that the accounts of their customers are getting compromised because of the #Android#Developer mode.
I highly doubt half of those compromised account have Developer mode ‘on’. I know a lot of people who don't even know what in the world “Developer mode” is, yet their accounts were compromised regardless. And I'm seriously tired of it because they all come to me when I don't even work for GCash (and if I can't help them, I'm suddenly ungrateful, blah blah blah).
Anyway, to supposedly solve it, banks and fintech companies are now blocking all devices with developer mode ‘on’.
LOL. GCash even added “another layer of security”: they won't allow anyone with the setting “install from other sources” turned on. Guess what? There are highly popular brands from China/Taiwan with “install from other sources” turned-on by default. The phone that was stolen from me was one such model and brand. There just was no way to turn it off (unless you root it, which itself will be detected as well).
I stopped using GCash after that. I can't even use their app.
Basically, banks and fintech in the #Philippines are implementing “security measures” that are not even the the reason why their customers' accounts are getting compromised.
Instead of improving their systems, they blame their customers.
For example. BPI is the largest and richest bank in the country. Yet to this day, they still rely on SMS two-factor authentication, which is the weakest of all 2FA methods. All it takes is a simple social engineering, and most people fall for that and they don't even know it (there were cases of these back in, more or less 2018 but nope, they did nothing, they just blamed their customers). Or, get your phone stolen. Ordinary thieves are far more knowledgeable than we are giving them credit for.
I am getting more and more frustrated with all the "we are looking for a #fullstack#developer" ads. One thing is that I need to get into the ad and look through the list of techs they want you to know before seeing if it is relevant (as opposed to "looking for java / kotlin developer" or "looking for C#/.NET" developer.
Also, I don't quite understand what they expect. It is all development. The frameworks and languages are different. So I read it more as "we are looking for a developer that is willing to work in more than one language at a time". We have a backend in Kotlin, but ONE service in Rust. I am a backend developer, but it is easier for me to take a frontend task than trying to make sense of the Rust backend.
But, again, if I put a few days aside for Rust, that part would be ok too.
I just end up feeling like way too much importance is put on languages and framework and way too little on the complexity of the problems you solve. (1/2)
Hey Ihr Flauschis, ich suche dringend einen #Developer der Ahnung von Proxmox, Mailservern und Sieve hat. Ist recht #dringlich. Würde mich sehr über jede PM freuen. Geht um einen #gemeinnützingen#Verein im Tierschutz :drake_femme_like:
#Mastodon forms new 501(c)(3) non-profit entity with new board of directors in the United States to facilitate tax-deductible donations and in-kind support:
@Mastodon please tell this more often: "Most people don’t realize the core developer team of Mastodon is still just two people, and it is these last donations that have allowed us to open a third full-time developer position."
Hot Take:
The "I'm new to Github guy" is an absolute asshole but is actually completely right, all the developers coping right now that Github is a dev platform are wrong. If you only release your app on Github it's no longer just a development platform it's also distribution one
@nixCraft yeah ... An #AI can simulate various complex processes, such as natural phenomena, chemical reactions or economic systems in a few seconds ... a junior #developer would need a few hundred coffee cisterns and a few billion years for a similar accuracy :)
The era of the Juniors has passed, it would be preferable to learn to ask the questions correctly and to know very well the basics of the theory in the targeted field, otherwise they will queue for #unemployment
