"Employee posted his credentials into public repository", wondering what reason would have provoked him to do that in first place?

It’s part of the danger of having a public “dotfiles” repository. It’s very easy to check in your .zshrc, only to discover that some script added an ENV var that contains a secret. Alternatively, the employee could have checked in a script that contained some secrets.

Atlassian has 13k employees? Mind blown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlassian says 9k though. Mind still blown.

The last time I saw Techcrunch mentioned is when they wrote an article attacking Mr Beast for being an ableist for doing 1000 free cataract surgeries mentioned on the All In Podcast. Till then I had assumed that Verizon had shut it down. I guess it still exists and they still have readers.
