She redacted some of the information before she sent it (obviously). This is from Jan 21 of this year. It's just so sad.... It's incredible people still have plaintext passwords serverside....

It's also interesting that the project got its start because an IBM salesman just happened to be sitting next to the president of American Airlines on a flight, and that salesman happened to be working on a massive air defense computer system for the Air Force. Goes to show the power of knowing the right people, or in this case, coincidentally meeting them on a plane.

everyone's sent those emails before you try to do some smart templating, but your designer changes the template and never actually remembers that those were FILLER VALUES

Did you tell her to make sure that password isn't used anywhere else?

#20I've certainly written my share of code that would look weird to an outsider who didn't know the backstory and the constraints and the evolution.
