Does anyone else like to reverse engineer websites? Like, inspect headers to see where it's hosted, use chrome extensions to see what it's built on, and check the network tab to see what requests are being made? Thinking about writing up on it, or is this just me?

Devs: I can’t believe you’re still using jQuery. Times have changed! You should adapt! Also devs: Look, it’s called a whitelist/blacklist, and master/slave. It’s always been like that. 🙄

My company has been silent on everything so far. So today I called them out on it. Me. A half black half mexican (100% black by police standards) man. I've been at the company for 6 months. My boss's boss just called me personally to apologize and we laid out a plan forward.

Alright, #BlackTechTwitter I'm curious: You're at work, you see another POC. Do you make a point to make eye contact and give them the "head nod in solidarity" (you know what I'm talking about 😂) or is this just a midwest thing?
