I couldn't make it past the first block of text. I wonder if people who write like that realize how it makes them look? I'd never hire them.
Personally I found this piece pretty fun to read. The guy is ventilating some stress through prose, not applying to work with you.

Dropbox is essentially just a cloud synced folder. Anyone who had the shared login credentials had access to the entire production server and fragments of it could be left on any computers that were synced to it. Anyone could also delete or modify anything and it would propagate the changes to everyone else's copies with very little logging or version control. You can restore a previous version of the file, but it is…
Is it shared credentials even for business accounts? Surely they must have some kind of team based shared access option for that?

It mentions December, so either that's a lie, it's recent, or it was December in some previous year.
Updates are written in present tense as actions being undertaken so this seems to be an ongoing trash fire.

FWIW stress is a contributing factor in pretty much all diseases we know. Particularly those where the immune system is active.
I've got ulcer. My last ulcer attack, 5 years had me rolling on the floor. Since then, I avoided stress. Ate at the slightest hint of hunger, even as I grew a pot belly. Also, I avoided situps, cos the muscle pains felt like ulcer attacks. There's this specific food that I love. It's eaten RAW but often prepared in a not too hygienic manner. Since I banned myself from eating it, I've slowly become able to stay a few…
If not, you’ve made a series of lifestyle changes of questionable value based on terrible (or no) evidence. Avoiding hunger, sit-ups, and raw food has no long-term benefit to your general health; becoming overweight and (maybe) exercising less than before may actually be somewhat deleterious. (Unhygienic food, raw or not, of course may be to avoid... but that’s not related to ulcer formation.)
Ulcers are totally curable via a short course of proton-pump inhibitors +/- antibiotics to eradicate H.Pylori. These are cheap (generic) drugs with a low risk of side effects. Go see a doctor and get yourself fixed up. Chronic gastric inflammation definitely isn’t good.

Given how broken VSS is, that might have been safer than using VSS as if it worked properly.
LOL, I used it in 1996-97 and it worked OK for a modest setup with only six users and blocking at file level. Later heard some horror stories from people working at big shops, but no worse than svn stories, anyway I haven't seen any of those.

And when my doctors have no idea what these are? And gave me the, "Avoid these food groups, exercise..."
Get off your high horse. Not everyone in the world has the same level of health care you do.

However, I do struggle to accept/believe that a relevantly qualified doctor, anywhere in the world, wouldn’t know what a PPI is. They aren’t new, they aren’t expensive, and they’re available worldwide. Honestly, every medical student would probably know about them.
Anyway, look for the medications named omeprazole, or lansoprazole, or pantoprazole. They’re PPIs. In many countries they’re even available over the counter. And (was together with a course of the correct antibiotics, where necessary) they cure ulcers.

Bitwarden is fully open source and audited. You can self host the server and client if you want without additional cost (they charge small per user).
Bitwarden derives its keys using SHA256 on the passphrase and a hilariously low iteration count. The developer refuses to acknowledge it as a security risk, and actually caps the max iterations you can configure, both on the client and the server. https://github.com/bitwarden/jslib/issues/52 https://github.com/bitwarden/server/issues/589 “It was audited” is meaningless if the audit missed this, or reported this and t…

Django, uses PBKDF2-SHA256 with 216000 iterations, for example https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/...
Given Bitwarden allows almost 10x that, not sure I see the issue.
I am not a fan of Dropbox. Stories like this are why I don’t use it. A couple of years ago I inherited managing Dropbox for a company I was at. I’d never really used Dropbox in a more daily use company. I discovered Dropbox wasn’t very IT admin friendly. If you share out a personal folder as your team folder, IT can’t find your folder to share it to new members of your team. The person who owns the folder has to shar…
Have felt similar pain with G Suite Drive. Perhaps I simply didn’t find or didn’t have the proper permissions (I wasn’t the top level admin on the org) but at some point I wrote a Python script to output a list of users who had access to each file in our organization. I saw no way of generating this automatically.
