    I definitely recommend using HTTPS on this site. I would rather not have all of my calls logged on a company server somewhere (especially if someone works at a company that cares a…

    Exactly, that key is now completely compromised (it was the second it was public). You can still see it here: https://github.com/kaolti/Who-Runs-This/commit/764945d8d968b... You wi…

    This appears to be a private key (so no one should ever be able to read this file): https://github.com/kaolti/Who-Runs-This/blob/master/key.pem Is this for publishing to the chrome…

    I clicked next and this is the first thing that I thought of. What a terrible user experience, so much for sharing "anonymously"

    Facebook was great. The recruiter gave me detailed feedback on what each interviewer said for each round.

    I love this type of stuff, because it is an insight into the way that normal people (ie. not royalty) lived.
