  1. Bigger than my head 2015-03-17

    A friend of mine was once interviewing an engineer for a programming job and asked him a typical interview question:

    • How do you know when a function or method is too big?
    • Well, said the candidate, I don't like any method to be bigger than my head.
    • You mean you can't keep all the details in your head?
    • No, I mean I put my head up against my monitor, and the code shouldn't be bigger than my head.

  4. “Les mots de passe sont aléatoires, mais pas au sens cryptographique du terme. On prend des mots de passe auquel un attaquant ne penserait pas tout de suite.”

    Oué, comme :

    • admin / admin (Livebox bonjour !)
    • <service> / <service> ou <service>admin / <service>admin (intégrateur de choc bonjour !)
